Diagnosis. Male: Forewing length 11–11.5mm. Nudum 13. DFW brand slim; subapical spot yellowish, in R4-M1. VFW costal area, apical spot and marginal band homogeneous yellowish. VHW with four nonaligned reddish discal spots in Rs-CuA2, plus reddish faint markings closer to margin in Sc-CuA2. Median apophyses of tegumen developed, large, bilobed; lateral projections pointed. Harpe thin, curved. Ventro-posterior end of aedeagus triangular-shaped.

Studied material: Colombia 1 male, no data ( DZUP 11.129); Venezuela, Aragua, Colonia Tovar, 2000m, 12- VII-1981. Mielke & Casagrande leg. 3 males ( DZUP 29.908, DZUP 29.909, DZUP 29.910)

Type: There is a syntype male in BMNH, here designated as lectotype aiming to give atability to the name, with the following labels: Type / Type H T / Druce Coll. Kaden Coll / P. kenava Butl. Type / Pamphila kenava , Type. Butl. / ♂ / Genus? kenava, Butl. Godman-Salvin Coll. 1914 .-5. / Venezuela. Druce Coll. / Compared with Plotz’s drawing of myrina Plötz / Photo AA / 76 / BMNH (E) #806107 /; therefore, also the following label will be added and sent to the curator: / Lectotypus / Lectotype Pamphila kenava Butler, 1870 Henao, Carneiro, Mielke & Casagrande, 2014 /.
