MATERIALS AND METHODS Capitalized colour names in the descriptive texts are taken from Maerz & Paul (1950). Terminology herein for both external and morphological features follows our previous papers on Pseudolucia (Bálint et al. 2000, Bálint & Benyamini 2001) using the terms given by Scott (1990, cf. Figs 10-17). The following abbreviations for institutes and museums are used in the text listed here in alphabetical order: BMNH = The Natural History Museum, London (UK), FMNH = Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago (USA), HNHM = Hungarian Natural Flistory Museum, Budapest (Hungary), IML = Institute Miguel Lillo, Tucumán (Argentina), MHNP = Museum Histoire d'Naturelle, Paris (France), MNHN = Museo Nacional de História Natural, Santiago (Chile). The acronym ICZN is used for the most recent edition of the International Code of the Zoological Nomenclature (International Commission of Zoological Nomenclature 1999). TAXONOMY Pseudolucia kechico sp. n. (Figs 1-4, 29-30) Type material — Holotype: male, deposited in MNHN: "Chile, Chico, Prov. Aysen, 24,31. Die. 1960, Coll.: L. E. Peha" gen. prep. Bálint no. 625. Fore wing costal length: 10.5 mm; in relative good condition, the tip of left antenna's bulb and half of the right antenna are missing, the abdomen is dissected (Figs 1-2). Paratype: female, deposited in MNHM: "Chile-Chico, Aysen, 27. I. 1960, Leg. L. Pena G; Pseudolucia, nov. sp., det: L.E. Pena '94", gen. prep. Bálint no. 626 (Figs 3^4). Paratype: male, deposited in MNHM, with the holotype data, gen. prep. Bálint, no 764 (abdomen partly eaten by insects). Paratype: male, with holotype data, deposited in FMNH. Paratype: male with holotype data in collection Benyamini (Bet Arye, Israel). Diagnosis — The species is closest to P. nequeniensis, but smaller and with the median band of the hind wing ventrum less ruptive and comprised by extended and arc-edged spots (these are arrow-head shaped on all congeners). Anal-postbasal, costal-postmedian and submedian spots are coalescent, creating a K-shaped mark which typifies the new species. The postbasal spot in cell Sc+Rl on the hind wing ventrum is boomerangshaped, unique among all species of the group. Genitalia generally resemble other members of the andina-gxoxrp; however, in the female the henia, which is generally large and oblong in this species group, is instead quadrant-shaped in all aspects and extremely small, comprising cca. 0.33 length of ductus seminalis. Description — Male: dorsal fore wing, dorsal hind wing ground colour Collie, fringe chequered. Ventral fore wing ground unicolorous Acorn with somewhat lighter apical and subapical area. Median discoidal line and postmedian spots brown with beige crescents. Ventral hind wing ground colour somewhat ligther than in fore wing. Postbasal spot near to costa boomerang-shaped, postbasal spot in discal cell large and lineal, postbasal spot near to anal margin reaching postmedian marks. Postmedian spots large and extended, with arcshaped edges and merging with subbasal anal spots into a K-shaped mark; submarginal area
