(Fig. 1 part, 13–14, 225–226)  
 Definition and diagnosis. Sister to previous species and differs from it by 1.8% (12 bp) in COI barcode. The previous species is either sympatric with this new species in Panama or comes close to it in distribution. Keys to “ Dyscophellus phraxanor phraxanor ” (D.4.2(b)) in Evans (1952) but differs from it and other relatives by a combination of more convex and wider tegumen in lateral view, terminally rounded and wider basal tooth of harpe (Fig. 226), ventral margin of harpe being even less shouldered than in E. panador new species (Fig. 224), well-defined hindwing discal spots, not hyaline (could be pale-centered), spot in cell M 2 -M 3 nearly within the row, comparatively (to the ventral hindwing discal yellow spots) smaller forewing subapical spots, and stronger orange overscaling in the anterior part of ventral forewing (Fig. 13–14). Due to the cryptic nature of this species, most reliable identification is achieved by DNA and a combination of the following base pairs is diagnostic in the nuclear genome: aly671.39.2:T432C, aly887.9.1:G232A, aly102.20.9:G45T, aly272.9.2:G61A, aly272.9.2:G79A, aly 2578.3.9:G222G (not T), aly 2578.3.9:A230A (not G), aly2275.23.9:A72A (not G), aly4036.9.5:G321G (not A), aly27.16.1:T1497T (not C), and COI barcode: T118C, A181A, A202G, T376G, A625G.
