either medial or submarginal pattern in forewing ventra. The Beatheclus forewing ventral pattern is submedial. The only Panthiades Section species possessing a brush organ is Thepytus epytus (GODMAN et SALVIN, 1887) ROBBINS, 2004 according to ROBBINS (2004: 280). The brush organ of Beatheclus is attached to the anterior edge of the dorsal vinculum and the last segment of the abdomen by a membrane; the hair pencils are scattered and not numerous. The brush organ of Thepytus epytus possesses dense hair pencils that are situated in the middle side of the vinculum and are not attached to the abdomen. The upturned posterior aedeagus of B. beatrizae is also unique: it is a membranous tube with bellows turned anteriorly by 90 degree supported by a single sclerotised cornutus, turned also by 90 degree anteriorly providing a flat basis. Because of the similarly large size and identical dorsal forewing scent pad, we place the genus after the Panthiades SecFigs 1-4. 1-2 = Forewing androconial scent pads: 1 = Beatheclus beatrizae sp. n., 2 - Michaelas phoenissa (HEWITSON, 1867). 3-4 = Hindwing tornai ciliations: 3 = B. beatrizae sp. n., 4 = M. phoenissa (HEWITSON, 1867) Folia ent. lutng. 67, 2006
