Why does the subgenus lycaena exist twice (one inactive, one active)?

@treichard @schoenitz @matthewvosper I'm confused about the Butterflies of America Species page showing the genus Tharsalea. But when I click into the genus Tharsalea, all species in the genus Tharsalea are represented as Lycaena.
E.g. Lycaena xanthoides : https://butterfliesofamerica.com/t/Lycaena_xanthoides_a.htm
I'm confused because whichever perception of mine I click I always end up with the blue glazier.
The catalog page was updated earlier this month. Other pages may still need an update to match.
This and related taxon changes still need an explanation and cited source. This should have been included before the changes were committed. This current change looks like an error, but if it is not due to other related changes, it needs to be explained and cited.
@tonykris Why was this change made? Subgenus Lyceana is valid in the taxonomic authority:
https://butterfliesofamerica.com/US-Can-Cat.htm
Remember that taxonomic changes like this must be explained and cite a source. Your change lacks both.
