Abstract: Eudyaria sigridae sp. n. from Paraguay is descri bed and compared to the similar species E. zeta (Berg, 1885) from Central-Southern Brazil, Uruguay, Bolivia and Argentina, and E. venata (Butler, 1871) from CentralSouthern Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. It differs by the wing pattern, foretibia spine, epiphysis length, colour of abdomen dorsally, and 8th sternite. Male holotype is depo sited in the collection Padre Jesus S. Moure in Departa mento de Zoologia, Universidade Federal do Paraná, Curi tiba, Paraná, Brazil. Key words: distribution, taxonomy, Neotropical fauna.

Difere-se principalmente pelo seguintes carac teres: padrão alar, pelo espinho da tíbia anterior, coloração do abdomen e o oitavo esternito. O holótipo macho está depositado na coleção Padre Jesus S.

Beschreibung einer neuen Eudyaria Grote, 1896 aus Paraguay (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae, Hemileucinae, Hemileucini) Zusammenfassung: Die neue Art Eudyaria sigridae sp. n. aus Paraguay wird beschrieben und mit den Verwandten E. zeta (Berg, 1885) aus dem zentralen Südbrasilien, Uruguay, Bolivien und Argentinien und E. venata (Butler, 1871) aus dem zentralen Südbrasilien, Argentinien und Paraguay ver glichen. Die neue Art unterscheidet sich in Flügelmuster und -färbung, Färbung der Dorsalseite des Abdomens, Vor dertibienbedornung, Länge der Epiphyse und der Form des 8. Sternits. Der männliche Holotypus befindet sich in der Sammlung „Padre Jesus S. Moure“ im Departamento de Zoologia, Universidade Federal do Paraná, Curitiba, Paraná, Brasilien.
Introduction According to Lemaire (1996, 2002), the genus Eudyaria Grote, 1896 (= Nammuncuraia Orfila, 1951) is known from 2 species: E. zeta (Berg, 1885) and E. venata (But ler, 1871). Eudyaria is characterized by several features within Saturniidae: Hemileucinae. According to Lemaire (2002), it is distinct by the absence of the lines on all four wings and by the prominence of the venation on the fore wing, besides the antennae structure and the presence of apical spines on fore- and median tibia. Some of these traits are discussed.
The present publication raises to 3 the total number of Eudyaria species. Collection abbreviation: DZUP (DZ)

holotype.
Eudyaria sigridae sp. n. Figs. 1a, 1b. Holotype ♂: “Holotypus, Eudyaria sigridae C. Mielke & U. Drechsel det. 2008”, “Paraguay, Dep. Kanindeyu, Tava Yopoi, S 24°22’, W 55°53’, U. Drechsel leg.”, “DZ 15.590”. Donated by the coauthor and deposited in DZUP. Figs. 1a, 1b. — No paratypes. Etymology. The name is a dedication to Sigrid Drechsel (Paraguay), coauthor’s daughter, for her enthusiasm on bio logy. Note. The HT and single specimen was found in nature dead and dry in a spider net.
Description ♂ (Figs. 1a, 1b). Wingspan: 95 mm, forewing length: 46 mm. Head: antennae mostly lacking with straw colored scape; front dark reddish-brown; labial palpi 3-segmen ted although 3rd segment not present. Thorax dorsally dark reddish-brown and ventrally lighter just as the legs; fore- and median tibia with 2 and 1 spines on outer apical angle, respectively; the former bearing an epiphysis of 1/3 of its length; tibial spurs 0-2-3. Forewing: elongated, outer margin convex, ground colour brown without markings except by the black trace like discal spot with a dense sprinkling of dark brown scales, venation not marked. Hindwing: slightly darker, more reddish, and speckled as forewing with black oval discal spot. Ventrally, both wings reddish-brown. Abdomen dorsally black with coloured reddish brown rings post eriorly on each segment, ventrally dark reddish-brown; 8th sternite without posterior projections (Fig. 2). ♂ genitalia (Figs. 3, 4). See Lemaire (2002). The new spe cies does not differ much from both the other species, but it seems that both uncus and apparatus are wider, the former more pronounced dorsally. Female. Unknown. Immature stages. Unknown. Geographical distribution. E. sigridae sp. n. is only known from the type locality.

Discussion Eudyaria sigridae sp. n. is similar to E. zeta and E. venata, from which it is however easily distinguished by several characters. These are listed in Tab. 1. Table 1: Diagnostic differences between Eudyaria species. ♂

Two foretibia spines, wing venation non marked, ringed abdominal segments, and 8th sternite without sublateral spines posteriorly seem to be unique within Eudyaria.
