| Summary: | A new species of butterfly from the Serranía del Perijá, Cesar, Colombia, is described<br />herein. A mountain system where the principal characteristic of the high altitude<br />lands is the biogeographic isolation from other Andean mountain systems such as<br />the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and the Sierra de Mérida in Venezuela. This new<br />species is close to Forsterinaria punctata, but shows clear differences in the wing<br />pattern coloration and the male genitalia morphology |
