tion genus Michaelas. We remark that the genera from Panthiades to Michaelus possess a conspicuously ciliated hindwing lobe, which is probably a character indicative of their closer relationship (Figs 3^4). However, we are not satisfied with this placement. It is also necessary to study the female for further characters, which either confirms or falsifies our hypothesis that the taxon belongs to the Panthiades monophyly. Beatheclus beatrizae sp. n. (Figs 9-12) Type material - Holotype male, deposited in the Institute de Ciencias Naturales de la Universidad Nacional en Bogotá, Colombia, with the printed label: "Colombia // Valle: // R. Agucatal // S. Antonio // 11.6.2004 // 2200 m [vertical]" (Figs 9-10). The data of 50 male and one female paratype (Figs 11-12) specimens are listed in the Appendix 1. Diagnosis - With the metallic green forewing dorsum this taxon is unique in the Panthiades Section. It is also unique because of having a male genital brush organ situated at the anterior part of the male genital vinculum. The male genital aedeagus is uniquely structured posteriorly (see above). The green Michaelus (sensu ROBBINS) species with similarly large discal scent pad is M. phoenissa, which possesses deeper, almost blue dorsal structural colour, strongly changing reflectivity according to incidence. All the other Michaelus species are lighter blue dorsally. In phoenissa the black marginal band reaches the discalis, while in the case of B. beatrizae it is restricted to marginal and submedian areas. The forewing ventral pattern is medial in M. phoenissa, while this is submedial in B. beatrizae (cf. D'ABRERA 1995: 1179, figures "T. (? P.) phoenissa"). Description - Male: forewing length measurement based on 50 paratypic specimens and varies between 16-22 mm with a mean of 20.1 mm; with standard deviation of 1.3 mm. Dorsal wing colouration and pattern: Forewing metallic greenish blue with high reflectivity. Androconial scent pad circular, large and filling discoidal cell distal apex. Veins standing out sharply. Forewing black marginal border 3-4 mm wide; costal, submedial and apical areas also black. Hind wing vein Cul terminus with short (< 1 mm), vein CuA2 with longer (> 3mm) filamentous tail, ciliae short but in tornai area conspicuously long. Veins standing out, distally with black scaling. Ground colour as that of in forewing, costa and apex black, marginal border black and thin. Ventral wing colouration and pattern: Forewing grey with structural reflectivity between costa and vein CuAl. Submedial intercellular area between costa and CuAl with narrow white lines. Submarginal pattern crescent shaped but faint, antemargin dark grey, margin white with dark ciliae. Hindwing with forewing ground colour, but different pattern: cell Sc+Rl with subbasal and antemarginal white line; intercellular shapes between veins Rl to CuAl with a continuous straight submedian white line; white patterns between veins CuAl and anal margin displaced distally or basally; submargin with intercellular white crescent pattern supplemented by an orange spot with black
