We propose a revised classification for the genus Elzunia Bryk, 1937, with four species and 20 subspecies. We describe two new subspecies, Elzunia humboldt carlosi Le Crom and Llorente, ssp. nov., and Elzunia humboldt willmotti Le Crom, Llorente and Andrade, ssp. nov. We recognize five additional unnamed subspecies but do not describe them because they are represented by too little material. A detailed examination of 854 specimens from 31 collections allowed us to define 24 stable phenotypes and delimit their geographic distribution. We present a diagnosis and description for each taxon and provide images of the wing coloration pattern and male genitalia, and a distribution map. We also present a key for all the species and subspecies. We conducted a multivariate statistical analysis of measurements of the discal cell (DC) veins, and with this we explore the species groupings by these characters. Lastly, we discuss mimetic interactions of this genus with species of other Ithomiini and Heliconiinae.
我们对1937年的埃尔祖尼亚属（Elzunia Bryk）提出了修订分类，该属包含4个物种和20个亚种。我们描述了两个新亚种，即洪堡埃尔祖尼亚卡尔洛西亚种（Elzunia humboldt carlosi Le Crom and Llorente, ssp. nov.）和洪堡埃尔祖尼亚威尔莫蒂亚种（Elzunia humboldt willmotti Le Crom, Llorente and Andrade, ssp. nov.）。我们还识别出另外5个未命名的亚种，但由于所依据的材料太少，未对它们进行描述。对来自31个收集地的854个标本进行详细检查后，我们确定了24种稳定的表型，并划定了它们的地理分布范围。我们对每个分类单元进行了诊断和描述，并提供了翅色图案和雄性生殖器的图像以及分布图。我们还给出了所有物种和亚种的检索表。我们对盘室（DC）脉的测量数据进行了多变量统计分析，并据此通过这些特征探索物种分组情况。最后，我们讨论了该属与其他伊托米族（Ithomiini）和闪蝶亚科（Heliconiinae）物种之间的拟态相互作用。
