Seven new taxa from the butterfly subtribe Euptychiina (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Satyrinae) with revisional notes on Harjesia Forster, 1964 and Pseudeuptychia Forster, 1964

Seven new euptychiine (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Satyrinae) taxa are described and named herein, namely Harjesia argentata Nakahara, Zacca and Lamas, n. sp. , Orotaygetis Nakahara and Zacca, n. gen ., O. surui Nakahara, Zacca and Lamas, n. sp. , Euptychoides sanmarcos Nakahara and Lamas, n. sp. , Pseudeuptychia cuzquenya Nakahara and Lamas, n. sp. , P. languida austrina Nakahara and Lamas, n. ssp. , and Godartiana astronesthes Lamas and Nakahara, n. sp. A revisional note is provided for Harjesia Forster, 1964 and Pseudeuptychia Forster, 1964, and as a result, Taygetis vrazi Kheil, 1896 is removed from Harjesia and a new taxonomic arrangement, Pseudodebis vrazi n. comb. , is proposed based on both morphology and molecular data.
