Abstract

Based on adult morphological features, two new species are described and assigned to the leucochrysine genus Santocellus: Santocellus legrandisp. nov. from Central America and Santocellus helenesp. nov. from Bolivia. As a result, the genus, which now contains five known species, becomes more securely defined. An updated catalog and an illustrated key to the known Santocellus species are provided.
