Abstract

Two new satyrine butterflies known so far only from the Venezuelan territory are diagnosed, described, illustrated and compared: Rudyphthimoides iseai gen. nov. et sp. nov. (Cordillera de la Costa, northern Venezuela) and Stephenympha pauliana gen. nov. et sp. nov. (Serranía del Cuao, Amazonas, southern Venezuela). Seven new combinations, two new synonymies are established, and the specific status of two taxa are revised: Rudyphthimoides affinis (Butler, 1867) comb. nov., R. erigone (Butler, 1867) sp. restit., stat. rev. et comb. nov., R. guenzeli (Anken, 1994) stat. rev. et comb. nov., R. maepius (Godart, [1824]) comb. nov. (= Euptychia argyrospila Butler, 1867 syn. nov., = Euptychia perfuscata Butler, 1867 syn. nov.), R. mythra (Weymer, 1911) comb. nov., Stephenympha arius (Weymer, 1911) comb. nov. and S. eriphule (Butler, 1867) comb. nov.
