Abstract

We review the taxonomy of the genus Zaretis Hübner, [1819], restoring Zaretis isidora Cramer to specific status (stat. rev.) and describing a new species, Zaretis pythagoras n. sp., from the Chocó region of western Colombia and western Ecuador. We also provide a key to identification of adult Zaretis and a synonymic checklist of all described names.
