given, with notes on recently studied material from the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador. Twelve species are reported from the country and their respective distributions are summarized. Three additional, but undescribed speciesare apparent in recently examined museum collections. A second male of Corydalus ecuadorianus Banks is reported, and photographs of the male and the female holotype are included. The location of syntypes of Chloronia mirifica Navás, previously thought destroyed, is established at the Museu de Zoologia, Barcelona, Spain. Alectotype for the latter species is designated.References
