Abstract

The Neotropical genus Banyallarga Navás, 1916 is recorded from Brazil for the first time through the discovery of a remarkable new species. Banyallarga (Histricoverpa) tocantinensis sp. nov. is described and illustrated based on male adults collected in the Cerrado biome of Tocantins State, northern Brazil. The new species is most similar to Banyallarga nica Prather, 2004 from Nicaragua. It can be recognized mainly by the morphology of tergum X and the inferior appendages. Additionally, an updated identification key to the species of the subgenus B. (Histricoverpa) Prather, 2004 is presented.
