brown, relatively ordered scales. We cannot judge at the present stage of our knowledge of the genus whether this structure is one supporting monophyly for the traditional view of Atlides or not, and the uniformly scaled discal component is derived in certain Atlides taxa (Figs 10-11). Hind wing anal area without a dorsal androconial pouch (in Brangas: present). In contrast to the complex Atlides fore wing dorsal androconia, Brangas possesses ventral androconia in the hind wing cell 1A+2A mentioned and illustrated as "small pencil of hairs" by Godman and Salvin (1887: 24, pi 50, fig. 13a). Male genital brush organ attached to vinculum (in Brangas: brush organ attached to manica). The significance of this structural difference is further supported by the distinctive female genital configurations typifying Atlides versus Brangas. The ductus bursae of Atlides female is a long (ca 0.3 mm) sclerotized tube, broadening to a lamella postvaginalis with terminal spines. The ductus bursae of Brangas female is a short (< 0.1 mm) membranous tube, terminating in a flaplike lamella postvaginalis without spines. Atlides diversity in Colombia - The overall distribution and diversity of Atlides is poorly documented. Draudt (1919: 750-751) indicates the Colombian occurrence of A. atys, A. inachus and A. polybe. D'Abrera (1995: 1120-1122) adds to this list A. bacis and A. havila. Faunistic data concerning Atlides has not been widely published. As recent data we could find only the publication of Salazar (2001: 77), who again recorded A. atys (as "A. scamander"), A. inachus and A. polybe, occurring syntopically in Cerro Aguacatal. Compared to these taxa A. dahnersi is surprisingly supralimital and therefore it is very easy to identify. Three congeneric species was recorded to be sympatric with A. dahnersi: A. polybe (various records) and A. inachus (a single record), and the recently discovered, therefore poorly known, Atlides browni (various records) described on the basis of the holotype male from the same area ("Valle, San Antonio, km 14, 2000 m, 16. August 1989, leg. K. S. Brown"; deposited in Museo de História Natural, Universidad del Caldas, Manizales, Colombia), a Caldas museum voucher specimen of a larger number of specimens collected by Brown. We present here the figures from dorsal and ventral aspects of the holotype specimen (Figs 5-6). A. browni, A polybe and A. dahnersi cannot be confused because their colouration and wing pattern are qualitatively different in obvious respects. All the Atlides species hitherto recorded from Colombia are distinctive and their phenotypes are relatively well documented in the folio-book of d'Abrera (1995). The key presented by us herein helps to discriminate similar looking species over the larger Latin American area, even in the case of females (since, ac-
