ResumoThe absence of androconia on the dorsal surface of the wings is established as an external diagnostic character of male Hermeuptychia intricata Grishin, 2014, that distinguishes this newly described species from males of the sympatric H. sosybius (Fabricius, 1793). Additional United States records of H. intricata are reviewed, extending its distribution to include North Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, and central Texas. Observations on the phenology and behavior of H. intricata and H. sosybius in northern Florida are given. Se establece la ausencia de androconia en la superficie dorsal de las alas como un caracter diagnostico externo del macho de Hermeuptychia intricata Grishin, 2014, para distinguir esta especie de reciente descripcion de los machos simpatricos de H. sosybius (Fabricius, 1793). Se revisan registros adicionales de H. intricata de los Estados Unidos, cuales amplian su distribucion para incluir North Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi y Texas central. Se dan observaciones sobre la fenologia y el comportamiento de H. intricata y H. sosybius en el norte de Florida.
