Diagnosis.
Olceclostera jairana sp. nov. differs from O. quilombola sp. nov. by external and genitalia characters: on the forewing of O. jairana sp. nov., the two subapical hyaline spots between M1 and M3 are rounded, with the one between M2-M3 smaller and almost unnoticeable in some cases. Otherwise, these spots are rectangular and always visible in O. quilombola sp. nov. In the dorsal forewing, posterior to the hyaline spots, O. jairana sp. nov. has a sinuous band of light gray scales, absent in O. quilombola sp. nov. (Fig. 2C-F View Figure 2 ). Olceclostera jairana sp. nov. has all tibias with a band of long scales with light brown apex, while O. quilombola sp. nov. presents these scales with dark brown apex (Fig. 6A, B View Figure 6 ). In the genitalia, O. jairana sp. nov. presents, in lateral view, a more rounded tegumen, narrower socii, and a more elongated uncus, and, in ventral view, the anterior projection of the saccus is thinner than in O. quilombola sp. nov. The aedeagus of O. jairana sp. nov. presents apex with a lateral projection bearing one to three spines, while in O. quilombola sp. nov. this projection has no spines (Figs 10 View Figure 10 , 17 View Figure 17 ).
Externally, O. jairana sp. nov. is very similar to O. xeta sp. nov. and O. wayana sp. nov., but O. jairana sp. nov. has all tibias with a band of long scales with light brown apex while O. xeta sp. nov. and O. wayana sp. nov. present these scales with grayish brown apex (Fig. 6A, C View Figure 6 ). Dorsally, the abdomen of O. jairana sp. nov. has a copper color, while O. xeta sp. nov. and O. wayana sp. nov. have a grayish color (Fig. 2C, D, G-J View Figure 2 ). The genitalia of O. jairana sp. nov. present, in lateral view, a narrower socci than O. xeta sp. nov. and O. wayana sp. nov., and the process of sacculus is about twice as big as in O. xeta sp. nov. and O. wayana sp. nov. The aedeagus of O. jairana sp. nov. has an apex with spines and vesica without cornuti, while in O. xeta sp. nov. and O. wayana sp. nov. the aedeagus does not have spines and the basal portion of the vesica is covered by small cornuti (Figs 10 View Figure 10 , 19 View Figure 19 , 21 View Figure 21 ).

The first imagos emerged 60 days after pupation.
Life history.
After being collected, the female was placed in a plastic container where it oviposited 110 eggs on the container wall. After about 15 days, the larvae hatched from the egg by cutting a small semicircular opening on the dorsal surface of the chorion. The larvae preferred to feed on Handroanthus sp. ( Bignoniaceae ). During the first and second instars, larvae fed by scraping both the adaxial and abaxial surfaces of the leaf; from the third on, larvae ate the entire leaf.
During the first and second instars, the larvae were very active all day and night, and when threatened, they released themselves from the host plant to the ground by a silk strand. From the third instar on, the larvae were less active during the day, spending this period resting on the branches of the host plant. In the last instar, when threatened, the larvae bristled the dorsal setae of the thoracic segments, making visible the arrangement of the red setae located in this region.
When larvae reached the prepupa, they left the host plant and walked on the soil of the container, burying in it after a few hours to pupate. The underground chamber was not found. After pupating, the earlier imagos emerged in about 60 days, while the latter in about 120 days. There was no difference between the emergence time of females and males. When both emerged on the same night, they immediately mated. An unmated female oviposited about 130 eggs, while a female that had copulated oviposited about 270 eggs.
Distribution.
Based on museum records, the species is present in the Argentina state of Entre Ríos and the Brazilian states of Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Paraná, Rio de Janeiro, Santa Catarina, and São Paulo (Fig. 22 View Figure 22 ).
Etymology.
This species is named in honor of the parents of the first author, who always encouraged the first and second authors to persist in their studies; the specific epithet is a combination of their first names, Jair and Ana.

Remarks.
We found at the same locality specimens with one, two, or three spines at the apex of the aedeagus. However, specimens with a different number of spines present a molecular difference of less than 2% (Table 1 View Table 1 ).
