Resumo

We provide the first comprehensive taxonomic revision of the poorly known South American butterfly genus Zischkaia Forster, 1964, hitherto regarded as including three described species. A phylogenetic analysis based on DNA sequence data shows that Zischkaia is monophyletic and consists of two morphologically diagnosable clades. Morphological characters and DNA `barcodes' support the recognition of twelve species in the genus, a significant increase even for the relatively poorly studied subtribe Euptychiina. Consequently, nine new species are described and named herein, including Z. arctoa Nakahara, sp. nov., Z. chullachaki Nakahara \& Zacca, sp. nov., Z. baku Zacca, Dolibaina \& Dias, sp. nov., Z. arenisca Nakahara, Willmott \& Hall, sp. nov., Z. argyrosflecha Nakahara, L. Miller \& Huertas, sp. nov., Z. abanico Nakahara \& Petit, sp. nov., Z. josti Nakahara \& Kleckner, sp. nov., Z. mielkeorum Dolibaina, Dias \& Zacca, sp. nov. and Z. warreni Dias, Zacca \& Dolibaina, sp. nov. In addition, a neotype is designated for Satyrus pacarus Godart, {[}1824], and lectotypes are designated for Euptychia amalda Weymer, 1911, Euptychia fumata Butler, 1867 and Euptychia saundersii Butler, 1867.
