Material examined. Holotype ♂: Brasilien, Santa Catarina, S. Bento do Sul, Serra Rio Natal , 850 m, April 1999, leg. H. Thöny (GenPr- Heterocera MWM 28.521 ) ( MWM).

Description. Male. Length of fore wing 12.5 mm. Fore wing brown, with poorly expressed dark-brown pattern: series of small round spots along costal edge, portions discally (at cubital veins) and postdiscally (at radial veins), fringe mottled brown at veins (in thick bundles), light-brown between veins. Hind wing dark-brown, without pattern.

Male genitalia. Uncus relatively short, robust, split into two halves by deep notch; gnathos arms very short, thin; costal edge of valve almost smooth, abdominal edge slightly curved along all length, outer edge semicircular; juxta robust, scaphoid, with triangle apically sharp abdominal process; saccus tapered, evenly narrowing from base to apex, apically blunt; phallus basally thick, apically gradually narrowing, vesica without cornuti.

Female. Unknown.

Diagnosis. The new species clearly differs from the other species of the genus in its relatively small size, poorly modified pattern, the valve without processes and the relatively short uncus.

Distribution. Brazil, Santa Catarina.

Etymology. The new species is named after the major Russian satirist of the XIX century Mikhail Yevgrafovich Saltykov-Shchedrin.
