| Summary: | Description and comparative diagnosis are given for a new species of the Genus Eulaema. Eulaema chocoana is possibly an endemic species from the biogeographic Choco area. Eulaema chocoana presents a constant color pattern, which coincides with the "bombiformis" pattern of El. meriana but it is clearly distinguishable from these and other related species because of the structural characters. Geographical distribution and ecological aspects are also being discussed.<br>Se describe y se presenta la diagnosis comparativa de una nueva especie del género Eulaema Lep., posiblemente endémica del área biogeográfica del Chocó.
