tern and morphology. Moreover, the species paramosa Constantino et Salazar, 1998 has to be placed in Podanotum (see below). My opinion is that Penaincisalia has to be restricted to the group closely related to the type species P. culminicola (Staudinger, 1894) and certain taxa have to be transferred to other genera (eg. amatista to Abloxurina Johnson, 1992), or the genus should be applied in a much broader sense as Lamas has already indicated (but without explanation) (Lamas et al. 1999: 5). As in this present paper I do not formalize the synonyms I have discovered in the genus, I cannot give a key for all species. However, the following key is written for the males of Penaincisalia species occurring sympatrically in the Cordillera Bianca. Key to males of Penaincisalia occurring in Llanganuco and its surroundings: la. Wings: dorsal ground colour iridescent lavender blue. 2 (P. descimoni, P. culminicola) lb. Wings: dorsal ground colour different blue, or not blue. 3 (P. aurulenta, P. lamasi, P. perezi) 2a. Fore wing outer margin is shorter than inner margin, ventral hind wing with light basal spot in cell Sc+Rl and in discal cell. P. descimoni 2b. Fore wing outer margin is equal in length with inner margin, ventral hind wing with no light basal spots. P. culminicola P. aurulenta 4 (P. lamasi, P. perezi) P. perezi P. lamasi Podanotum andrewneildi sp. n. (Figs 5-6, 9) Diagnosis — Differs by the unicolorous brown dorsal ground colour from all con­geners, which are brilliantly coloured; ventral fore wing with a discoidal line, which is missing in all the known species placed in the same genus. Description — Male: dorsal fore wing, dorsal hind wing unicolorous dark brown, fringes brown, hind wing tailed at vein CuA2. Ventral fore wing and hind wing brown with somewhat lighter postmedial area. Fore wing with median discal line, postmedial band dark extending from costa to vein CuAl, paralleled distally by narrower whitish line, large dark submarginal spot present in each cell, margin with faint bronzish border, fringes brown. Ventral hind wing basal, postbasal and submedial area dark brown, medi­al area with a slightly jagged narrow white line, postmedial area with prominent red cap­spots with distally situated basal spot in every cell, margin with a narrow reddish brown band, fringes brown. Holotype fore wing costal length from base to apex: 10 mm. Male genitalia typical of the genus (Fig. 9). Female: unknown. 3 a. Wings: dorsal ground colour brilliant orange. 3 b. Wings: dorsal ground colour not brilliant orange 4a. Wings: dorsal ground colour iridescent magenta. 4b. Wings: dorsal ground colour iridescent sky blue.
