Key to species of Oropuna

1. Body uniformly brown ( Fig. 7 ), wings evenly suffused with fuscus (except near apices of Sc and RA along costal margin); most veins near wing apex reddish (up to crossvein or fork); Brazil............................................. O. orba

1.’ Body paler, and/or wing not evenly suffused with fuscus ( Fig. 1 ); apical wing veins not reddish, only wing margin and immediately adjacent veins; Mesoamerica...................................................................... 2

2. Medioventral lobe of male pygofer (ventral view) distinctly longer than wide, elongate-ovoid; gonostyli, in ventral view, with medial margin smooth, lacking medially directed lobes ( Metcalf 1938, plate 20); Panama...................... O. fusca

2.’ Medioventral lobe of male broad and about as wide as tall (ventral view), roughly quadrate; gonostyli in ventral view with 2 pairs of medial projections.............................................................................. 3

3. Apex of the medioventral lobe of male pygofer with broadly acute apex ( Fig. 4B ); anal tube subequal in length to gonostyli, apically broad; Costa Rica.................................................................... O. halo sp. n.

3.’ Apex of the medioventral lobe of male pygofer truncate; anal tube much shorter than gonostyli ( Caldwell 1944, plate I, figs 2B, 2C); Guatemala, Mexico (Chiapas).............................................................. O. minutiana
