Abstract
Abstract Euantha Wulp is a New World genus in the tribe Sophiini (Dexiinae). It includes three species: E. interrupta Aldrich, 1927, E. litturata (Olivier, 1811) and E. pulchra Wulp, 1891. This last species is poorly known, being restricted mostly to catalogues since its original description. Here E. pulchra is redescribed, a lectotype is designated and the male is diagnosed for the first time. In addition, this species (originally described from Mexico) is newly recorded from Guatemala. Finally, the first key to include all the species of Euantha is provided. (AU)
