Abstract

A new species of Copitarsia Hampson, 1906 is described based on specimens collected in Colombia and México. C. euryonix Angulo & Olivares, sp. n., 13 males of Copitarsia genus included types of C. uncilata Burgos & Leiva, 2010 are revised. Diagnostic characters of this new species are given, and photographies of adult and male genitalia are provided. This new species is akin to Copitarsia decolora (Guenée, 1852) and is compared differentially with it.
