Abstract: The South American lycaenid genus Annamaria D'Abrera & Bálint, 2001 is revised. The nomenclatoric and taxonomic history of the genus is presented. Annamaria Bálint & D'Abrera , 2001 = Lamasina Robbins, 2002, new synonym is established. A key for the six species recognized in three species groups is given on the basis of head, androconia and ventral pattern characters: colombia group: A. columbia sp. n. (type locality: Colombia, Santa Fé de Bogotá); ganimedes group: A. draudti (Lathy, 1926), A. ganimedes (Cramer, 1775) and A. lathyi sp. n. (type locality: Peru, Rio Seco); rhaptissima group: A. rhaptissima (Johnson, 1991) and A. rhapsodia sp. n (type locality: Bolivia, Rio Limatambo, appr. 1600 m). Thecla mirabilis Lathy, 1930 = Evenus mirabilissima D'Abrera , 1995 (unnecessarry replacement name), new synonym is established. A neotype for Papilio ganimedes Cramer, 1775 is designated, and with this action the erroneous type locality "Indiis Occidentalis" is corrected to "Bas Maroni, Guyane FrancaiseR (French Guyana: Bas Maroni). The lectotype for Thecla nobilis Herrich-Schäffer, 1854 is designated. The combination Denivia saphonota Constantino, Salazar et Johnson, 1993 is transferred to Brevianta Johnson, Kurse et Kroenlein, 1997. With 40 figures.
