Description of a new remarkable species of Lymanopoda WESTWOOD and identification of a centre of endemism of cloud forest butterflies in Belmira, northern Central Cordillera, Antioquia, Colombia (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Satyrinae)

A new species, Lymanopoda paisa n. sp., is described from the northern extremity of the Colombian Central Cordillera in Antioquia. It is closely related to L. ionius, as indicated by the male genitalia and underside colour pattern. However, L. paisa has an unusual upperside colour pattern with a large, light blue patch covering basal two-thirds of the wings. It is apparently endemic to the northern part of the Central Cordillera in Antioquia, in the Belmira area, which is identified here as a local centre of endemism of cloud forest butterflies.
