Abstract (en):
A new species of skipper butterfly is described (Hesperiidae) for Colombia, typical of high Andean regions, especially in the region of montane moors in the Cordillera Oriental of Colombia. This new species, Wahydra carneiroi n. sp., is easily distinguished by the presence of a white band in the region of the postbasal ventral hindwing in addition to differences in genitalia.
