Abstract
The pyrgine genera Anastrus Hübner, 1824, and Tosta Evans, 1953 (Hesperiidae), found in the vicinity of Cacaulândia in central Rondônia, Brazil, are discussed and illustrated. Two new species, Anastrus virens n. sp. and Tosta capra n. sp., are described. Taxonomic comments and comparisons with material from other areas are made in some instances.
