Remarks
"Remarks. The name eupheno refers to the male of the species described by Linnaeus as belia. Verity (1913: 178) stated that there was no Linnaean specimen. The identity of this species has now been stabilized and we follow current usage in treating eupheno as a junior subjective synonym, and the male, of belia (e.g., Tennent, 1996: 15). Two subspecies were recorded from North Africa by Tennent (1996), who illustrated several specimens both of the nominate form and A. b. androgyne Leech. The distinction between the two is by no means marked." (Honey & Scoble 2001: 324).
