1 year ago The header here should read request as "from iapix to iapyx" Else that greek mythology link is inline with request as source "Iapyx" (mistyped above as Lapyx).

Same issue on CoL https://www.catalogueoflife.org/?taxonKey=9CJ3M
Species name alteration of Lepidoptera from iapyx from iapix
The original spelling of the species name is iapyx
Insecta: Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae Currently on gbif as "Tajuria iapix (Hewitson, 1865)" From original Iolaus iapyx Hewitson, p. 45. source: https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/95252#page/92/mode/1up
The author repeatedly uses greek names from locations, historical figures or as here seemingly from mythology - "Lapyx - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iapyx"
As such, noun in apposition. I see no reason from within ICZN regulations, nor 'widespread later usage' issues, nor extraneous arguments from Lep community; that could justify later alteration from the original lapyx
