A remarkable vicariant of Gespanna confirmata (= pectoralis ) from Sulawesi (Lepidoptera: Erebidae)

Gespanna amelieae sp. n. from Sulawesi is described. This species is the second member of a hitherto monotypic genus and the first extra-Sundanan one. Despite the close resemblance to G. confirmata (= pectoralis), it can readily be separated from its congener by the different trend of the postmedial line of forewing.
