(specimen number 15,876) [IOC].</p> <p> <b>Etymology.</b> The species is named after my daughter and wife first names: Zoe and Eugenia = <i>zoenia</i>.</p> <p> <b>Diagnosis.</b> This new species can be recognized externally because the distal hyaline spot of forewing is the biggest among all species of the genus. Also, the shape of this spot is like a right triangle with outer margin slightly curved and smooth, different to all species with different shape and outer margin irregular and creased. It is similar to <i>B. myosticta</i> (Fig. 3–7, 11–13, 15), but can be recognized because the outer margin of hyaline spot is smoother and regular, tip of saccus shorter, valves bigger, apical process narrower and less concave, apical finger-like process longer and uncus longer.</p> <p> <b>Description.</b> Male (Fig. 1, 2). (n=6). <i>Head</i>. Brown dorsally. Front with pinkish hair between margins of scapes. Scapes white dorsally and brown ventrally. Antennae brown, except for the lateral of proximal third and all distal third, both white greyish. Pectinations white greyish, short, uniform in lenght. Palpi brown dorsally and white ventrally, the third segment shorter than the second segment. <i>Thorax.</i> Dorsally brown and ventrally white. Patagia and tegulae brown with white margins, white part more pronounced along inner margin of patagia. <i>Legs</i>. Proximal and distal thirds white, medial portion brown, except for dorsal surface of forefemora crimson. <i>Forewings</i> —length of 14.5–16.5mm (n=6). Dorsally predominantly brown, lighter brown under discal cell and slightly whitish outer margin. Distal hyaline spot right triangle shaped with dark brown spots on wing veins, the three more conspicuous on M2 nerve. Outer margin of the hyaline spot smooth and regular. A tiny white rounded proximal spot, and another, more conspicuous, on subproximal portion of anal vein. A dark brown line surrounding outer margin. Ventral surface with discal cell crimson, and predominantly covered with white scales on corresponding brown-scaled dorsal surface; androconia ovoid, close to the base of wing and under discal cell (Fig. 20). <i>Hindwings</i> —length of 9.5–10.5mm (n=6). Semihyaline, white with inner margin reddish and tornus with diffuse greyish. Ventrally white except for costa brownish. <i>Abdomen.</i> Dorsally crimson. Ventrally white. Pleura white with a black spot on each pleurite. Sclerotized apodemes of tergite and sternite present on eighth abdominal segment thin and rounded, respectively (Fig. 17, 18). Male genitalia (Fig. 8 <b>–</b> 10, 19). Uncus completely setose, rounded basally, then thin, slightly curved ventrally and laterally in the middle and rounded at the tip. Tegumen thin. Vinculum rounded ribbon-shaped. Saccus tapering at the tip and slightly curved to the right side. Juxta absent. Anellus sclerotized. Manica membranous. Asymmetrical sclerotized valves, wide at the base and shorter than uncus. Sacculus and costa fused. Apical process width with a concave apex. Apical finger-like process short. Process of right valve longer, twice as long as left. Aedeagus curved, long and thin tapering at the tip; caecum developed and rounded. Vesica membranous with a patch slightly sclerotized distally, with a long tube when vesica is fully everted (Fig. 14, 19).</p> <p> Female. Externally as male except for the following characters: <i>Forewings</i> —length 16–20mm. <i>Hindwings</i> — length of 10–11.5mm (n=3). Tornus with greyish more pronounced. Female genitalia (Fig. 16, 21). Papillae anales trapezoid and setose. Pseudopapillae anales conspicuous. Anterior and posterior apophyses with same length. Pheromone glands longer than wide, unbranched, reaching anterior margin of seventh abdominal segment. Eighth sternite partially divided mid–ventrally. Ductus bursae sclerotized and longer than wide, distal part creased. Corpus bursae oval, membranous, proximal area creased. Signum ovoid, present on middle-left surface (Fig. 21). Bulla seminalis with a single chamber, oval, smaller than corpus bursae.</p> <p> <b>Distribution and biology.</b> <i>Bertholdia zoenia</i> <b>sp. n.</b> has a restricted distribution in South America from eastern Brazil (Travassos 1948; 1950) to northeastern Argentina and center Paraguay (Fig. 22). Adults have been collected from 3 to 610m above the sea level. The habitat is rain forest lowlands of Atlantic forest. On the other hand, <i>B. myosticta</i> has a restricted distribution principally in Mesoamerica from south of Mexico to Costa Rica (Fig. 22). This species occurs from 300 to 1,800m. The habitat is rain and cloud forest. Moreover, there are records of <i>B. myosticta</i> in South America from Colombia to Bolivia, reaching more than 2,000m elevation in Ecuador (Rothschild 1910; Süßenbach 2003), where the habitat is principally cloud forest from Los Andes mountains.</p> <p> However, these records in South America are most likely misidentified specimens. The life cycle and host plants of <i>B. zoenia</i> <b>sp. n.</b> and <i>B. myosticta</i> are unknown. It is necessary further studies of life cycle not only with species of <i>Bertholdia</i> but also with most of the Arctiinae species.</p>Published as part of <i>Beccacece, Hernan Mario, 2017, A new species of the genus Bertholdia Schaus, 1896 (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Arctiinae) from the Neotropical region: Bertholdia zoenia sp. n. in Zootaxa 4238 (1)</i>, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4238.1.6, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/345034">http://zenodo.org/record/345034</a>

[MLC]. 1 male: Bolivia, Tarija, Route de Villa Montes à Tarija, pK 155, 1600 m, M. Laguerre leg. [MLC]. Etymology. The name is derived from the meridional Yungas area, western slopes of the Andes, between 300 and 3500 m altitude, from northern Peru to northwestern Argentina (Morrone, 2014). Description. Male (Fig. 1). Wingspan 56–60 mm (n= 10). Head. Dark brown dorsally, except the base of the scape yellowish brown. Antennae, dark brown. Pectination dark brown, 0.4 mm length in the middle section of the antenna. Palpi dark brown, the third segment shorter than the second segment, globose eyes, proboscis well developed. Thorax. Patagia and tegulae dark brown with margins yellowish brown dorsally and dark brown ventrally, except the union of coxae yellowish brown. Legs. Dark brown dorsally, except the coxae which is yellowish brown. Forewing— length 24.5 mm – 28 mm (n= 10). Dark brown ground-color with thin transverse lines, clearer, forming a ornamentation like crackle varnish. Nervation slightly contrasting, yellowish color. Transverse lines absent ventrally. Hindwing— Dark brown with the inner margin paler dorsally and dark brown ventrally. Abdomen. Underneath brownish with transverse yellowish band dorsally, except the first segment yellowish orange; pleura brownish black; greyish brown ventrally with a pair of subtriangular ventral apodemes in the intersegmental A 7 –A 8 and apical part of this segment convex. Male genitalia (Fig. 3, 5, 7, 9). Uncus thin basally, club-shaped and lateraly compressed, strongly curved in the middle, setose distally and pointed at the tip. On both side of the uncus insertion, presence of a pair of high subtriangular protuberances, with long bristles yellowish covering the apex. Protuberances reach half the middle of the uncus. Vinculum rounded ribbon-shaped with a medial constriction present in the upper margin. Saccus rounded like tongue-shaped, not developed. Juxta sclerotized like an inverted U-shaped. Manicae membranous with a pair of lateral patch of spicules (Fig. 9). Symmetrical valves, wide at the base, shorter than uncus. Sacculus membranous, setose, shorter than costa. Costa strongly sclerotized, with a thin and slightly serrated end, extended laterally by a lamellar projection sclerotized and twisted. Anal tube membranous. Aedeagus slightly curved, short and robust (Fig. 5); caecum reduced, rounded. Vesicae membranous with tiny spicules, semi-moon like, with two finger-like apical processes and a globose basal process. Two cornuti present with medium size spines, one located in a diverticuli base of the apical process and other in the middle of the basal process. Female. Same as male except for the following characters: forewing female darker than male forewing; length 27 mm – 28 mm (n= 3). Hindwing uniformly dark brown. Female genitalia (Fig. 10). Papillae anales trapezoid and setose. Pseudopapillae anales wholly fused. Anterior apophyses straight, 0.8mm length; posterior apophyses slightly curved, 1.3 mm length. Ductus bursae extremely short and slightly sclerotized. Corpus bursae large, flat, ovoid, inner shell completely covered by little papilla, constricted in its central portion at the insertion of ductus seminalis. Bulla seminalis with a single chamber, same size as the corpus bursae. Remarks. Mazaeras yungasensis n. sp. is similar to Mazaeras janeira (Schaus, 1892) (Fig. 2, 4, 6, 8) described from Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. Habitus and male genitalia of lectotype is figured by Watson (1973). This taxon is the senior synonym of Mazaeras distincta (Rothschild, 1935) described from Alto da Serra, state of São Paulo in Brazil. M. janeira can be distinguished from M. yungasensis n. sp. by the following differences: Pectinations in the middle section of the antenna, 0.7 mm length; abdomen orange with the first segment unspotted, the following three with large transverse black bands, the other segments with black spots medio-dorsally; a pair of subtriangular ventral apodemes in the intersegmental A 7 –A 8 wider. Apical part of the segment A 7 –A 8 concave; forewing with the reniform spot formed by a slight discoloration of the ground color and the apex more rounded; hindwing with non-uniform color: yellowish white, black on the margins; male genitalia with the uncus not club-shaped with, along its entire length, many long bristles; tegumen smallest and more convex, with shorter subtriangular protuberances, without a dense tangle of long yellowish hairs; manicae without spicules patch laterally; costa of the valvae with apex much finer, without a lamellar projection sclerotized and twisted; juxta with a depression in the middle apical region; saccus showing a medial concave depression rounded; aedeagus longer and thinner with a sclerotized spot of small spicules apically and a caecum penis more developed; cornuti located in the medium of the basal process bigger. Mazaeras yungasensis n. sp. is also similar to Opharus palmeri Druce, 1909 described from San Antonio in Colombia. This taxon can be distinguished from M. yungasensis n. sp. by the following differences: head, patagia, tegulae and thorax orange yellowhish; forewing with brown ground color; hindwing with base slightly yellowish; tegumen without subtriangular protuberances; valvae longer, without a lamellar projection sclerotized and twisted and with a rounded apex; vesicae smallest with a large patch of fine cornuti. Mazaeras yungasensis n. sp. is also similar to Elysius disciplaga (Walker, 1856) described from Brazil. This taxon is the senior synonym of Elysius breviuscula Walker, [1865] described from Mexico and Elysius aperta Edwards, 1884 described from Jalapa, state of Veracruz in Mexico. Elysius disciplaga can be distinguished from M. yungasensis n. sp. by the following differences: forewing without transverse lines forming a crackle varnish, reniform spot conspicuous and with a rounded apex; hindwing with non-uniform color: discal area whitish; uncus wide, flared at the base, bearing two lateral subtriangular projections; tegumen with two very large cup-shaped projections, the edges of these projections are highly serrated; valves short, very large with a truncated apical end. One specimen of Mazaeras yungasensis n. sp. and one specimen of M. janeira provided barcode sequences of cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) mitochondrial gene. The K 2 P distances for DNA barcode sequences show 4.11 % of divergence between the two taxa. No recent specimen of Opharus palmeri has been available for extracting and sequencing COI. No specimen of this species is recorded in IBol Lepidoptera campaign. One specimen of Elysius disciplaga from Paraguay, Alto Parana, provided a barcode sequence COI. The K 2 P distances for DNA barcode sequences with the specimens of Mazaeras yungasensis n. sp. and specimen of Mazaeras janeira show 6.93 % and 5.71 % of divergence respectively from E. disciplaga. This percentage of divergence is strong and significantly higher than the distances observed between species of Lepidoptera, particularly within Arctiini (Hajibabaei et al. 2006; Vincent & Laguerre, 2013). These results confirm the discrimination of these taxa and the novelty of Mazaeras yungasensis n. sp. The placement of the new species in the genus Mazaeras Walker, 1855 is not entirely satisfactory. The genus Mazaeras Walker, 1855 includes eight species and one subspecies (Vincent & Laguerre, 2014). However, Mazaeras yungasensis n. sp. and M. janeira have a habitus very different from Mazaeras conferta, the type species of the genus, with a reddish thorax, forewings ocher orange, pinkish hindwings and a yellow abdomen decorated with three longitudinal lines of punctuation. The genus Sychesia comprises three species and eleven subspecies (Vincent & Laguerre, 2014) which have a homogeneous habitus characterized by antenna highly bipectinate, forewings black and marked by a small clear punctuation at the location of the reniform spot, a yellow abdomen decorated with two longitudinal lines of punctuation. So, the placement of Mazaeras yungasensis n. sp. and M. janeira within the genus Sychesia is not justified. The genus Elysius Walker, 1855, especially with the species Elysius disciplaga has some species with similar habitus with the two species. However, they remain far from Elysius conspersus Walker, 1855, the type species of the genus, which owns a thorax orange, brown forewings decorated with large orange spots and white hindwings. The placement of these two species as members of Mazaeras Walker, 1855 still needs more evidence.Published as part of Beccacece, Hernan Mario & Vincent, Benoit, 2014, A new species of the genus Mazaeras Walker, 1855 (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Arctiinae), pp. 595-600 in Zootaxa 3847 (4) on pages 595-599, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3847.4.10, http://zenodo.org/record/23024
