Abstract

One new species and two new subspecies of Altopedaliodes Forster are described from southern Ecuador: A. halli n, sp., A. perita sorda n. ssp. and A. zsolti citra n. ssp. The species Altopedaliodes kruegeri Pyrcz is transferred to Pedaliodes and a new subspecies P. k. belmira n. ssp. is described from northern Colombian Central Cordillera. The, hitherto, unknown female of A. kurti Pyrcz & Viloria is described. The generic diagnosis of Altopedaliodes is discussed pointing out the insufficiency of solid proof for the monophyly of this taxon. Oreal Pronophilini of the northern Andes are briefly reviewed.
