Bahia based on single male specimen, but the two taxa can be distinguished bywing characters. The purposes of the present paper are to (1) describe this hitherto unnamed species, to (2) place it in Denivia and discuss the diversity and delimiting characters of the genus and to (3) give a key to distinguish all the Denivia species, which occur in the south and southeast part of Brazil. We describe and distinguish the new species on the basis of wing pattern and androconia being consistent with ROBBINS, who has written: "the richest source of traits for distinguishing eumaeine species is wing pattern, followed by androconia..." (ROBBINS 2004: xxv). Although we examined the genital structures in both sexes of the new species and also those of many relatives, a detailed morphological study is going to be presented in a forthcoming paper dedicated to Denivia and its relatives (BÁLINT, in prep.). Standard entomological techniques and methods are used including the examination of genital structures (cf. WINTER 2000). The applied terminology for wings and genitalia are taken from the works of ELIOT (1973), ROBBINS (1991) and JOHNSON (1992). The following codens indicate collections in which the specimens investigated are deposited (names of the curators are in parentheses): BMNH = Natural History Museum, London, United Kingdom (Mr. PHILLIP R. ACKERY); CLAM = private collection of ALFRED MOSER (Sáo Leopoldo, Brazil); HNHM - Hungarian Natural History Museum (Dr. LÁSZLÓ RONKAY); MNHN = Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris, France (Dr. JACQUES PIERRE); NHMW = Naturhistorisches Museum, Wien, Austria (Dr. MARTIN LODL); RC = private collection of Ivo RANK (Sáo Bento do Sul, Brazil); UFPR = Universidade Federal do Parana, Curitiba, Brazil (Dr.OLAF MlELKE); ZSM — Zoologische Staatssammlung des Bayerischen Staates, Germany (Dr. AXEL HAUSMANN).
