Abstract: A key for separating sister genera Arcas Swainson, 1832 and Theritas Hübner, 1818, plus eight nominal species placed in Theritas is given. Three species groups within the latter genus are distinguished. A new species, Theritas gozmanyi Bálint et Wojtusiak, sp. n. is described form Ecuador. The presence of a discal scent pad on the fore wing dorsal surface and spectral characteristics of the light reflected from the central part of the discal cell were used as characters for discrimination of the new species.
Keywords: androconial clusters, spectroscopy, structural colours, Theritas species-groups
