B85387BDFFC0FFF5E4C63152FCFA2B87.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Electrostrymon picoloro belongs to the Calycopidina because the lateral edge of the female 8 th abdominal tergum has a sclerotized ridge (Fig. 1 E, inset). It also lacks male wing androconia (Figs. 1 A, 1 B). It belongs to Electrostrymon + Rubroserrata because the corpus bursae of the female genitalia is less than 2 mm long (Fig. 1 E) with a vestigial signa. It belongs to Electrostrymon because it has toothless male genitalia gnathos (Fig. 1 C), and the male is brown or orange-copper dorsally, without a semicircle of blue scales along the forewing inner margin (Fig. 1 A). All most parsimonious trees include this species in the genus (see below). Electrostrymon picoloro is the only Electrostrymon with a blue line segment between veins Sc + R 1 and Rs near the base of the ventral hindwing.	en	Prieto, Carlos, Robbins, Robert K.

B85387BDFFC0FFF5E4C63152FCFA2B87.taxon	description	Description. Male. Thorax and abdomen covered with brown scales. Mean forewing length 19.3 mm (n = 3); hindwing anal angle rounded with a tail at vein Cu 2; dorsal wing surface homogeneous brown, except for anal angle, which is suffused with deep orange scaling; no evident androconial clusters (Fig. 1 A). \; ventral forewing wing surface brown with two thin, straight light blue lines from R 1 or R 2 to vein Cu 1; ventral hindwing surface brown with two conspicuous light blue, thin lines; inner postmedian line “ W-shaped ” between veins Cu 1 and 2 A; a blue dash positioned basally between veins Sc + R 1 and Rs veins; typical orange and black “ Thecla spot ” in submarginal area of hindwing between veins Cu 1 and Cu 2 (Fig. 1 B). Genitalia (Fig. 1 C, D) with eighth abdominal tergum rectangular; brush organs absent; gnathos toothless; one terminal cornutus in penis. Female. Superficially nealry undistinguishable from male, but smaller in only known individual, which is not illustrated because of its poor condition. Genitalia with lateral edge of 8 th tergum sclerotized and inwardly curved; corpus bursae less than 2 mm in length (Fig. 1 E), and signa vestigial.	en	Prieto, Carlos, Robbins, Robert K.

B85387BDFFC0FFF5E4C63152FCFA2B87.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The name of this species refers to the type locality, Pico de Loro (Parrot Beak Hill), between Jamundí and Cali municipalities. It is a noun in apposition.	en	Prieto, Carlos, Robbins, Robert K.

B85387BDFFC0FFF5E4C63152FCFA2B87.taxon	biology_ecology	Biology. Males land on vegetation up to 5 m above the ground in cloud forest. Males appear to establish mating territories in the early afternoon around 1230 hrs on the sunny edges of paths or ridge tops. The immature stages, larval food plants, and adult nectar sources are unknown. Adults were captured in July.	en	Prieto, Carlos, Robbins, Robert K.

B85387BDFFC0FFF5E4C63152FCFA2B87.taxon	distribution	Distribution (Fig. 2). The species is known from two localities in the western mountain range of the Colombian Andes, in forest between 2800 and 2900 m elevation. Specific localities are Pico de Loro (Farallones de Cali National Natural Park) and Argelia, Cauca.	en	Prieto, Carlos, Robbins, Robert K.

B85387BDFFC0FFF5E4C63152FCFA2B87.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Both sexes of E. picoloro can be distinguished superficially from other Electrostrymon by the ventral light-blue postmedian and submarginal lines and by the short basal blue line between veins Sc + R 1 and Rs veins. Although associating the sexes of many Eumaeini is difficult, Electrostrymon picoloro has a restricted geographical range, and the wing pattern is almost identical in both sexes. We infer from the phylogenetic results that this species is not a geographical form of a described species. The restricted high elevation habitat of E. picoloro at 2800 m to 2900 m elevation is unique in Electrostrymon. FIGURE 1.
