(From: A Catalogue of the Butterflies of the United States and Canada, Jonathan P. Pelham) Genus Satyrium Scudder, 1876 Bull. Buffalo Soc. Nat. Sci. 3: 106, no. 8. Type-species: Lycaena fuliginosa W. H. Edwards, 1861, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philad. 13(6): 160, 164, no. 10, by original designation. The generic synonymy below generally follows Clench (1979), J. Lepid. Soc. 32(4): 277-281, with the caveat that there is disagreement over the rank of several taxa. The group is in need of revision

Soc. 96(1): 33; redefined as “vicinity of Queen Lily Campground, near Belden, North Fork Feather River Canyon, elev. 2400', Plumas County, California” by J. Emmel et al. (1998), Syst. W. N. Am. Butts. (2): 9. Types: Lectotype in USNM, designated by J. Emmel et al. (1998), Syst. W. N. Am. Butts. (2): 10, figs. 18 ♂ D, 19 ♂ V. = okanagana (McDunnough, 1944) Can. Entomol. 76(9): 190-191.

Ore.: 154, determined this synonymy. = illepida K. Johnson, 1992 Reps. Mus. Nat. Hist. Univ. Wisc. (Stevens Point) (22)(vol. II): 195, fig. 191O ♀ D&V [actually a ♂]; the ♀ ductus bursae in fig. 227 (supposedly of the holotype) was excluded from the holotype by Robbins and Lamas (2002), Revta. bras. Zool. 19(supl. 1): 204. Original Combination: Ignata illepida Type Locality: “Sierra Paramo [sic], Bolivia” in error; presumably somewhere in the western United States. Types: Holotype in BMNH. Robbins and Lamas (2002), Revta. bras. Zool. 19(supl. 1): 204, figs. 17 ♂ D, 18 ♂ V (holotype), determined the status of this taxon. It is not possible to accurately place this taxon in the synonymy of S. saepium at this time.
