Character 3: aedeagus long and slender (Figs 9, 11, 13). This character is also unique in "Penaincisalia". The aedeagus of Abloxurina is also long and ex­ceeding the height of the upper tegumenal part of the genital capsule in lateral view (see Fig. 9) with 1 /3 or 1 /4 of the whole aedeagus length, and the adeagus itself is not so thin compared to other genital structures, for example the thick­ness of the gnathos (cf. BÁLINT et al. 2006, figs 17-18). In the balzapamba spe­cies group the aedeagus is longer, exceeding the height of the genital capsule in lateral view with 1 /5 or 1 /6 of the whole aedeagus length, it is generally thinner than the arms of the gnathos. Character 4: aedeagus with blunt, curved and heavly dentated apical cornutus (Figs 21-23). The "Penaincisalia" male genitalia possess two cornuti, a large and flat medial one, and a dentated apical one. Their taxonomic impor­tance was pointed out in the case of Thecloxurina JOHNSON, 1992 (type spe­cies: Thecla loxurina FELDER et FELDER, 1865) (BÁLINT & WOJTUSIAK 2003, 2006). It seems that it is also an important character for reconstructing rela­tionships, as P. amatamba and P. balzapamba share a bulbous and short, but heavily dentated and sclerotized apical cornutus (Figs 22-23), while this cornutus is longish, membranous and less dentate in Abloxurina (Fig. 21). The apical cornutus is also longish but heavily dentate and sclerotized in Thecloxurina (cf. BÁLINT & WOJTUSIAK 2003, 2006), as well as in the browni group oî"Penaincisalia" (= Pons JOHNSON, 1992). On the basis of these shared character states we think that the members of the amatamba-balzapamba-ismaeli cluster are closely related. At this moment we cannot decide whether this species triad is derived or not and whether it de­serves a name or not. The phylogenetic analysis will add more information on whether the broad concept oï"Penaincisalia" (ROBBINS 2004, HALL etal. 2005) or the arguments of BÁLINT & WOJTUSIAK (2006) for splitting into different genera seem to be more coherent with the clade history. Abloxurina dominiquae BÁLINT, BOYER et PRIETO, sp. n. (Figs 24-25, 28-29) Type material - Holotype male, set dorsally, labelled as: "Chulla?, au dessus de Milpo et Cueva Bianca, (Huancabamba) (Pasco), Pérou, 3200/3400m, 30/10/2006, Pierre Boyer Leg."; at present in PB, but will be deposited in MUSM. Diagnosis - The species is placed in the genus Abloxurina on the basis of the dorsal forewing androconia comprised by an oval scent pad in the apical
