Cenopis croatanensis Brown and Sullivan, new species, is described and illustrated from North Carolina, Louisiana, and Texas, U.S.A. The new species is assigned convincingly to Cenopis on the basis of two features of the male: a highly modified hood of scales over the upper frons on the head and a fold in the anal region of the hindwing concealing a slender hairpencil. Males are easily distinguished from all congeners by features of the genitalia, in particular the short, broadly rounded sacculus with a free subapical process.
