Author
Abstract

Four genera of butterflies belonging to the Nymphalidae: Satyrinae are erected, diagnosized, described and discussed in order to reassign ten species recently classified within the genus Magneuptychia Forster, several of which occur in Colombia and Venezuela: Nubila Viloria, Andrade \& Henao, gen. nov. (to include Euptychia gera Hewitson, E. metagera Butler, E. moderata Weymer, E. nortia Hewitson, E. purusana Aurivillius and E. segesta Weymer), Macrocissia Viloria, Le Crom \& Andrade, gen. nov. (including Neonympha iris C. Felder \& R. Felder and Euptychia inani Staudinger), Colombeia Viloria, Andrade \& Le Crom, gen. nov. (including Euptychia mycalesis Röber) and Omacha Andrade, Viloria, Henao \& Le Crom, gen. nov. (including Magneuptychia pax Huertas, Lamas, Fagua \& Willmott). Additionally, Euptychia tiessa Hewitson is transfered to the genus Satyrotaygetis Forster, which is revised. Eleven new combinations are established, one new synonym is proposed and two species are reinstated.
