Abstract

The species of the Argyrogrammana trochilia (Westwood, [1851]) complex and Argyrogrammana stilbe (Godart, [1824]) complex (groups "Trochiliiformes" and "Stilbeformes" respectively, of Stichel, 1911, 1930) are illustrated (including many type specimens), with notes on taxonomy and distribution. In addition, a new species (A. pastaza n. sp.) is described from the cloud forests of eastern Ecuador, and a revised classification is proposed for the entire genus Argyrogrammana Strand, 1932.
