Abstract

Seven new species of the previously monotypic genus Regalana DeLong & Freytag, 1975, described from Panama, are described and illustrated. The new species are described from lowland and montane Amazonian/Andeanrain forests and Cerrado savanna of Brazil, Ecuador, French Guiana, and Peru. They can be distinguished from each other, as well as from the type-species, R. corona DeLong & Freytag, 1975, mainly by features of the aedeagus. A key to the now eight known species of Regalana is provided.
