Diagnosis. Among all Cibyra spp. , C. jurate sp. nov. shares only the interrupted baso-central band on the male FW with members of the monoargenteus species-groups ( C. tessellata , C. elyana sp. nov., C. regina sp. nov., and C. jane sp. nov.), but it is easily distinguished by attributes of the male genitalia, especially the two digitiform meso-ventral diverticula on the phallus, whereas this is a single structure in the monoargenteus species-group.

Description. Male (Pl. 7: Fig. 2, 3–4, 7 View PLATE 1 , Pl. 11: Fig. 10 View PLATE 1 ). Forewing length: 13–16 mm, wingspan: 26–33 mm. Epiphysis present.

Male genitalia (Pl. 17: Figs 1–3 View PLATE 1 , Pl. 21: Fig. 3 View PLATE 1 ). Tergal lobes with a protrusion posteriorly. Posterior margin of saccus with mesal portion projected, latter concave or V-shaped. Tegumen slightly S-shaped.

PLATE 7. FIGURES 1−10 View PLATE 1 . Cibyra spp. of jurate and julie species-group. Adults (dorsal): 1 (CGCM 43.040), 2 (CGCM 35.530), 3 (CGCM 42.949), 4 (CGCM 34.143), 5 (CGCM 27.256), 6 (CGCM 22.843), 7 (CGCM 45.655), 8 (CGCM 13.724), 9 (DZ 52.659), 10 (CGCM 6.427). Depositories of the specimens: 1, 3–8, 10 in CGCM; 2, 9 in DZUP.

Female (Pl. 7: Figs 1, 5–6 View PLATE 1 , Pl. 13: Figs 11–12 View PLATE 1 ). Forewing length: 17–28 mm, wingspan: 33–53 mm. Epiphysis present.

Female genitalia. (Pl. 23: Figs 11–12 View PLATE 1 , Pl. 24: Fig. 11 View PLATE 1 ). Lamella antevaginalis with mesal third less sclerotised then lateral; latter postero-dorsal edge densely sclerotised and spiniform. Ductus and corpus bursae with 2/5 and 3/5 of its total length.

Distribution. Central and eastern Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, and eastern São Paulo , southeastern Brazil, at altitudes between about 700 and 1400 m (Pl. 27: Fig. 2 View PLATE 1 ).

Etymology. Homonym in honour of Jurate De Prins, a prominent lepidopterologist. It is treated as a noun in the nominative singular in apposition.

h) Species-group: julie . One species: C. julie sp. nov.

Defined by the relatively short phallus, half length of the genital apparatus, and the robust and ribbed valvae (Pl. 17: Fig. 4 View PLATE 1 ). In addition, by: i) male sternite VIII uniformly sclerotised, rectangular and concave posteriorly; ii) tegumen extended beyond articulation with saccus, and; iii) pseudotegumen largely expanded ventrally.

Distribution. Endemic to the northeastern Santa Catarina in southern Brazil at an altitude of about 550 and 800 m (Pl. 27: Fig. 1 View PLATE 1 ).
