	abstract = {This paper details the first records of the poorly known and controversial taxon Polyommatus andronicus Coutsis \& Ghavalas, 1995 from Southwestern Bulgaria (Mt. Alibotush, southern and central Pirin Mts.). This is a significant extension of the known range of this taxon, previously known only from NE Greece. The characters used to justify the species status of P. andronicus are re-evaluated. Statistical confirmation was obtained for the differences in mean wing length and male genitalia size, which support the specific distinctness of this taxon. The geographical and altitudinal range, habitat preferences, possible effects of human activity on its distribution, as well as the conservation status of P. andronicus are discussed.},
