to include bright, metallic coloured high Andean lycaenid butterflies. During one of his Venezuelan expeditions Mr. Andrew Neild (London, UK) collected a little brown lycaenid, which was tentatively determined as "Podanotum sp. female" by the American lycaenid specialist Robert Robbins. This curious species is also described in the present paper. The following institutional abbreviations are used throughout the text: MIZA (Museo del Instituto de Zoológia Agricola, Universidad Central de Venezuela, Maracay, Venezuela), MTM (Magyar Természettudományi Múzeum, Budapest, Hungary), MUSM (Museo de História Natural, Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Lima, Peru). I express my sincere thanks to my lepidopterist fellow Mr. Andrew Neild for reading the paper and for his constructive advice. DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES Penaincisalia perezi sp. n. (Figs 1-2, 7) "Thecla" sp. n. 2. ("rosada") — Lamas & Perez 1983: 35, 36, Fig. 45. [nomen nudum]. Penaincisalia aundenta — D'Abrera 1995: 1142, Figs p. 1143 "P. aundenta male" [misidentification]

. P. sp. n. rosada — Bálint 1997: 11, 12. [nomen nudum]. Diagnosis — Similar to congener and sympatric P. aundenta Johnson, 1990, but dorsal wing ground colour is iridescent magenta and not brilliant orange. Ventral surface with mottled and hoary pattern is also much like P. aundenta, but fore wing with a median band and less marked marginal patches. Description — Male: head, thorax, abdomen, palpi and fore wing androconial cluster typical of genus. Wings: dorsal surface dark iridescent magenta edged by a fuscous marginal and apical border; fringes chequered; ventral fore wing ground colour orange, costa and margin fuscous, median with discoidal line, postmedian with ruptive lineal marking, submargin with black spot in each cell; hind wing basal area black with scattered ash blue scales, postbasal spot white in discal cell and cell Sc+Rl, medial line ruptive, basally greyish, distally blackish, postmedial and marginal areas grey, submargin with ash blue spot in each cell; fringes chequered. Holotype fore wing costal length from base to apex: 12 mm. Paratypes 10-12 mm (n = 10). Male genitalia typical of genus (Fig. 7). Female: Unknown. Type locality — Peru, department of Ancash, Parque Nacional Huascarán, Quebrada Demanda, 4500 m. Types — Holotype: male, deposited in MUSM, labelled as "PERU, Dept. Ancash, PN Huascarán, Quebrada Demanda, 4500 m, 10.11.1995, leg. Zs. Bálint". The specimen is in excellent condition. 13 MTM male paratypes, nos 1-10 with the holotype data. Paratype nos 11-12 also from the PN Huascarán, but "Laguna Parón 4300 m, 7.

II. 1995", paratype no. 13 also from the PN Huascarán but "Quebrada Demanda 4400 m, 9.II.1995". 1 BMNH paratype male (no. 14) from "Peru, Paramo Corugas" (= Paramo Corongo) (figured by D'Abrera, I.e.). 1 MUSM paratype male (no. 15) figured by Lamas
