Type. Holotype in AMNH.

Systematic history. Described as belonging to Megistias (Schaus, 1902) , a synonym of Cymaenes Scudder, 1872 , and later placed in Lucida by Evans (1955) . All other authors mention the species in taxonomical comments, geographical distribution studies and catalogues.

Diagnosis. VHW central and discal areas fainted or hidden by other coloring markings, similarly to G. schmithi comb. nov. and G. rogan comb. nov.. However, G. ranesus comb. nov. presents the following unique characters: costal area red ferruginous only at the base with a reduced blue spot near Sc; coecum of aedeagus bilobed, distal end with greatly developed pair of hooks filled with spines in its inner margin; fultura inferior dorsally projected and joined over aedeagus forming a well-developed shield; posterior margin of sterigma straight with curved lateral margins, without projections; and ductus bursae all membranous without structures within.

Geographical distribution and phenology. Mountains of Atlant Forest. BRAZIL: Espírito Santo, Santa Teresa (II).
