Parachilades
''Itylos'' is a Neotropical butterfly genus in the family Lycaenidae. There has been confusion regarding the correct name; the present genus was discussed in 1945 by the famous lepidopterologist and author Vladimir Nabokov as ''Parachilades'' but had been described already in 1921. Nabokov used the name ''Itylos'' for the genus which nowadays is known as ''Madeleinea ''Madeleinea'' is a butterfly genus in the family Lycaenidae.

Itylos Fumosus
In Greek mythology, Itylus or Itylos ( Ancient Greek: Ἴτυλον), was the son of Aedon, daughter of Pandareus of Ephesus and wife of King Zethus of Thebes. Mythology Envious of Niobe, her sister-in-law, who had six sons and six daughters, Aedon formed the plan of killing the eldest of Niobe's sons, but by mistake slew her own son Itylus. Zeus relieved her grief by changing her into a nightingale, whose melancholy tunes are represented by the poet as Aëdon's lamentations about her child. The mythic theme was an ancient one, for Homer's listeners were expected to know the allusion, when Penelope reveals to the still- disguised Odysseus her anguish of a night:I lie on my bed, and the sharp anxieties swarmingthick and fast on my beating heart torment my sorrowing self.As when Pandareos' daughter, the greenwood nightingaleperching in the deep of the forest foliage sings outher lovely sing when springtime is just begun, she varyingthe manifold strains of her voice, pours ...

Lycaenidae Of South America
Lycaenidae is the second-largest family of butterflies (behind Nymphalidae, brush-footed butterflies), with over 6,000 species worldwide, whose members are also called gossamer-winged butterflies. They constitute about 30% of the known butterfly species. The family comprises seven subfamilies, including the blues (Polyommatinae), the coppers (Lycaeninae), the hairstreaks (Theclinae), and the harvesters (Miletinae). Description, food, and life cycle Adults are small, under 5 cm usually, and brightly coloured, sometimes with a metallic gloss. Larvae are often flattened rather than cylindrical, with glands that may produce secretions that attract and subdue ants. Their cuticles tend to be thickened. Some larvae are capable of producing vibrations and low sounds that are transmitted through the substrates they inhabit. They use these sounds to communicate with ants.Pierce, N. E.; Braby, M.

Plot summary ''Mary'' is the story of Lev Glebovich Ganin, a Russian émigré and former White Guard Officer displaced by the Russian Revolution.

Through a series of conversations with Alfyorov and a photograph, Ganin discovers that his long-lost first love, Mary, is now the wife of his rather unappealing neighbour, and that she will be joining him soon.

Madeleinea
''Madeleinea'' is a butterfly genus in the family Lycaenidae. These Andean butterflies are very interesting from a taxonomic standpoint. This genus was discussed by famous author and lepidopterologist Vladimir Nabokov in 1945. However, he used the name ''Itylos'', which actually refers to a closely related but distinct genus described in 1921. That was not known in his time however, as the relationships of the butterflies discussed by Nabokov were only resolved in 1993. In any case, ''Nivalis'' was proposed as a replacement name by Emilio Balletto but for technical reasons turned out to be unavailable. Zsolt Bálint subsequently established the currently-valid name. The latter researcher, in cooperation with Kurt Johnson, since then described many taxa new to science. To honor the contributions of Nabokov to entomology - chiefly concerning Lycaenidae -, these were often given names referring to the novels of Nabokov, or characters therein.
