Two new species of Euptychia Hubner 1818 (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Satyrinae) from Mexico and Guatemala

Abstract

Two new species of Euptychia are described and illustrated from southern Mexico and Guatemala. Euptychia neblina A. Warren & Nakahara n. sp., is described from eleven specimens from cloud forest habitats in the Mexican states of Oaxaca and Chiapas, as well as Baja Verapaz, Guatemala. Euptychia lacandona A. Warren & Nakahara n. sp., is currently known from a single female specimen from Chiapas, Mexico. We discuss possible relationships between these two new species and other species of Euptychia.
