"Itylos" is a 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".
