Yphthimoides iserhardi Freitas and Barbosa , new species

Diagnosis. Y. iserhardi is similar to Yphthimoides cipoensis Freitas, 2004 , but can be easily distinguished from the latter by the lighter tones in wing pattern, and by the ground color of the VFW, which varies from a rusty orange to a light yellowish ochre. The male genitalia resembles that of Y. cipoensis although the valvae of Y. cipoensis is a little bit squarer and the valvae of Y. iserhardi is more elongated, but the irregular teeth pattern is very similar ( Figs. 7 and 8 ).
