Gênero Michaelus indevidamente designado como Thecla no Brasil

In some insect surveys carried out on bean crops in the north region of the state of Rio de Janeiro, the occurrence of the pod borer  Michaelus jebus (Godt., 1819) (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) was observed. However, in the Brazilian literature this insect is erroneously denominated as  Thecla jebus, which is found only in the Palaearctic zone of the globe.
