Abstract

A new species and a new subspecies of the genus Galagete (Lepidoptera, Autostichidae) from the Galápagos Islands are described and illustrated. Galagete griseonana sp. n., known only from males, is endemic to the island of Santa Cruz. Galagete pecki flavofasciata ssp. n., known from both sexes, occurs on the islands of Santa Cruz and Santiago, where it is also believed to be endemic.
