Abstract

A new species of Lindra Evans, 1955 is described from a single specimen from Napo Province, Ecuador. Lindra olafmielkei sp. nov. is the darkest species in the genus, with a nearly immaculate dark brown dorsal surface and comparatively rounded forewing apex, but stigma and genitalic morphology clearly place it within Lindra. This new species constitutes the first report of the genus Lindra from Ecuador.
