The genus Ernassa Walker currently consists of five species: Ernassa justina (Stoll), E. sanguinolenta (Cramer), E. ignata Travassos, E. gabrielae Travassos, and E. cruenta (Rothschild). For about 40 years, the genus has been treated with these species. However, a large series of specimens and the study of the characters of the male genitalia, makes evident that the genus is more diverse. Eight new species are described: Ernassa inexplorata sp. nov., E. rufula sp. nov., E. persivalei sp. nov., E. tarisca sp. nov., E. skinnerorum sp. nov., E. harveyi sp. nov., E. markpacei sp. nov. and E. abscondita sp. nov. This work proposes that the species E. cruenta (Rothschild) does not have a common origin with the other species of the genus. At the moment it is treated as incertae sedis.
埃纳萨属（Ernassa Walker）目前包含五个物种：朱斯蒂娜埃纳萨（Ernassa justina，斯托尔命名）、血红色埃纳萨（E. sanguinolenta，克拉默命名）、火红埃纳萨（E. ignata，特拉瓦索斯命名）、加布里埃拉埃纳萨（E. gabrielae，特拉瓦索斯命名）以及血红埃纳萨（E. cruenta，罗斯柴尔德命名）。大约40年来，该属一直是依据这些物种来进行分类处理的。然而，大量的标本以及对雄性生殖器特征的研究表明，该属的物种更为多样。本文描述了八个新物种：未知埃纳萨（Ernassa inexplorata sp. nov.）、棕红埃纳萨（E. rufula sp. nov.）、佩尔西瓦莱埃纳萨（E. persivalei sp. nov.）、塔里斯卡埃纳萨（E. tarisca sp. nov.）、斯金纳氏埃纳萨（E. skinnerorum sp. nov.）、哈维氏埃纳萨（E. harveyi sp. nov.）、马克佩斯氏埃纳萨（E. markpacei sp. nov.）和隐匿埃纳萨（E. abscondita sp. nov.）。本研究提出，血红埃纳萨（罗斯柴尔德命名）与该属的其他物种并非同源。目前，它被视为分类地位不确定的物种。
