Material examined. Holotype ♂: Ecuador, Morona Santiago prov., San Carlos de Limon , 3°11′32′′ S / 78°26′40′′ W, 24.11.2011, H= 937 m, leg. V. Sinyaev & O. Romanov (GenPr- Heterocera MWM 28.593 ) ( MWM) ; Paratypes: 2 ♂♂, Ecuador, Morona Santiago prov., San Carlos de Limon , 3°11′32′′ S / 78°26′40′′ W, 24.11.2011; H= 937 m, leg. V. Sinyaev & O. Romanov (GenPr-Heterocera MWM 37.162 ) ( MWM) ; 2 ♂♂, Peru, prov. Huánuco, Yuyapichis , Faz. Tropical, S 09°37′ / 74°56′ W, July 2013, 210 m, leg. A. Eichinger (GenPr-Heterocera MWM 36.998 ) ( MWM) .

Description. Male. Length of fore wing in holotype 28 mm. Fore wing very elongated, apically sharp, light-brown with expressed dark-brown pattern of small spots of various shape along costal edge, big spots in radial area (discally, postdiscally and submarginally), small semicircular spots along wing edge in medial and cubital areas, fringe mottled dark-brown at veins (in thick bundles) and light-brown between veins. Hind wing white with strongly drawn anal angle, brown stroke discally, semicircular spots along wing edge, fringe mottled dark-brown at veins (in thick bundles), light-brown between veins.

Male genitalia. Uncus split by deep and very wide notch, halves of uncus thin, long, slightly curved, apically sharp; gnathos arms very short, thin; valve relatively short, costal edge smooth, abdominal edge strongly curved in medium third, outer edge slightly curved along all length; juxta large, scaphoid, with very long spiky abdominal process; saccus very long, cylindrical, apically with deep notch; phallus longer than valve, long, thin, vesica without cornuti.

Female. Unknown.

Diagnosis. Externally, the new species is mostly similar to Dolecta gogoli Naydenov, Yakovlev, Penco & Sinyaev sp. nov., from which it differs by the drawn anal angle of the hind wing. From all the species of the genus it reliably differs in the male genital structure:

- very long phallus (longer than valve);

- very long saccus.

Distribution. Ecuador, Peru.

Etymology. The new species is named after the Russian writer Alexander Ivanovich Gertsen.
