Abstract
Two new species of the genus Phaegoptera are described from Peru: Phaegoptera touroulti sp. nov. and Phaegoptera doroshkini sp. nov. Detailed species descriptions are based upon morphological and molecular characters as well as distributional data.
Key words: Arctiinae, Phaegopterina, Neotropical fauna, molecular phylogeny
