Introduction

A monotypic western Palearctic genus.

This species is placed by many authors in Favonius. However, the cladistic analysis of Hsu and Lin (1994) implied that Favonius is paraphyletic with respect to Sibataniozephyrus if Q. quercus is included in it.

This page is a Tree of Life Leaf Page.

Each ToL leaf page provides a synopsis of the characteristics of a group of organisms representing a leaf at the tip of the Tree of Life. The major distinction between a leaf and a branch of the Tree of Life is that a leaf cannot generally be further subdivided into subgroups representing distinct genetic lineages.

For a more detailed explanation of the different ToL page types, have a look at the Structure of the Tree of Life page.
