Abstract

A species of Euplocania from the National Natural Park Tayrona, Magdalena, Colombia, is here described and illustrated, it is assigned to the Zelayensis species group. On the basis of forewing pigmentation, shape of the pterostigma, and structure of the hypandrium, eight species groups are recognized in Euplocania, which are here diagnosed, with species assigned to each and distribution. The genus presently includes 38 species, only nine of which have been described.
