Abstract

The genus Episcepsis Butler, 1877 is widely distributed in the Neotropical region and currently includes 43 valid species many of them described solely based on external morphology. The existence of species complexes makes their identification difficult without examination of genital morphology. Four new species from Brazil, Cuba and Peru are described herein; Episcepsis andina sp. nov., E. diversa sp. nov., E. insularis sp. nov. and E. travassosi sp. nov. Comparisons with other similar species as well as photographs of external morphology and male genitalia are provided.

摘要

Episcepsis Butler, 1877 属广泛分布于新热带地区，目前包括 43 个有效种，其中许多种仅基于外部形态描述。种复合体的存在使得在不检查生殖器形态的情况下难以识别它们。本文描述了来自巴西、古巴和秘鲁的四个新物种；安第斯 Episcepsis 新种、E. diversa 新种、E. insularis 新种和 E. travassosi 新种。与其他相似物种进行了比较，并提供了外部形态和雄性生殖器的照片。
