Two new species of the genus Manerebia Staudinger, 1897 (Nymphalidae, Satyrinae) are described from paramo habitat on the eastern slopes of the Colombian Eastern Cordillera in the area of Pisba and La Colorada: Manerebia bernito n. sp. and Manerebia clarita n. sp. Both are morphologically most similar to Manerebia levana and Manerebia pervaga, and the possible phylogenetic relationship between them is hypothesized. Their habitat is described and a proposal of their conservation status is made. With the addition of the two new species described in this study, a total of 15 species of Manerebia are reported from Colombia. However, a molecular analysis should be carried out to validate the taxonomic status of several species of Manerebia, in particular having in mind a potentially high cryptic diversity of this genus.
描述了来自哥伦比亚东科迪勒拉东坡帕拉莫生境的两个新的 Manerebia 属物种(鳞翅目,蛱蝶科):Manerebia bernito n. sp. 和 Manerebia clarita n. sp.。这两个物种在形态上与 Manerebia levana 和 Manerebia pervaga 最为相似,并假设了它们之间可能的系统发育关系。描述了它们的栖息地,并提出了保护它们的建议。加上本研究中描述的两个新物种,哥伦比亚共有 15 种 Manerebia 被报道。然而,应该进行分子分析来验证 Manerebia 几个物种的分类地位,特别是考虑到该属可能存在高度的隐种多样性。
