| Abstract | |
The present paper describes a new species ofActinote(Nymphalidae, Heliconiinae, Acraeini),Actinote keithbrowniFreitas, Francini \& Mielkesp. nov., from southeastern Brazil, based on morphological and molecular data. The new species is very similar in wing pattern toActinote eberti, within what we term the ``light-gray mimicry complex.{''} The host plants and immature stages of the new species are unknown.Actinote keithbrownisp. nov. is one of the rarest species ofActinotefrom Brazil: in total, only eight individuals of this species are known from a narrow region of the Itatiaia massif despite years of collecting effort in that region since the 1940s.
