Two New Species of Malaveria Viloria & Benmesbah, 2021 (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) From High‐Altitude Wet Grasslands of Brazil

Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: ABSTRACT Two new satyrine butterfly species, Malaveria voltolinii Rosa, Barbosa, Siewert & Freitas, sp. nov. , and Malaveria auster Dolibaina & Zacca, sp. nov. (Satyrinae: Euptychiina), are named, described and illustrated from the Serra da Mantiqueira and Serra do Mar mountain ranges in the states of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo and from the Serra Geral mountain ranges in the states of Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, respectively. In addition, the first description and illustration of immature stages for the genus is provided, along with novel data on geographic distribution, phenology and life history. These species are apparently restricted to high‐altitude wet grasslands, a singular environment that is impacted by anthropogenic pressure and a lack of scientific research.
