The type material of the blue butterflies from the genus Agriades Hübner, 1819, deposited in the Museum für Naturkunde an der Humboldt Universität zu Berlin, was critically studied. The lectotypes of the following taxa are designated: Lycaena aegargus Christoph, 1873, L. orbitulus var. tartarus Staudinger, 1896, L. orbitulus v. aquilina Staudinger, 1901, L. orbitulus subv.[arietas] oberthüri Staudinger, 1901, L. pheretiades var. pheres Staudinger, 1886, L. pheretiades var. pheretulus Staudinger, 1886, L. pheres var. pheretimus Staudinger, 1892. The status of the type material of L. orbitulus var. orbitulinus Staudinger, 1892 is clarified: the type series contains only one specimen (holotype by monotypy) but not series of 4 syntypes. A new name for solving a primary homonymy case is proposed: Argiades pheretiades danya Korb, nom.nov. pro Lycaena pheretiades var. pheres Staudinger, 1886, nec Lycaena pheres Boisduval, 1852. The new synonymy and new status are proposed: Agriades glandon aquilo (Boisduval, 1832) = A. glandon var. aquiline (Staudinger, 1901), syn.n., Agriades glndon glandon f. oberthueri (Staudinger, 1901), stat.n.
