    A new species of Thespieus Godman, 1900 (Hesperiidae, Hesperiini), Thespieus maackisp. nov., is described from high altitude grasslands on Araçatuba Mountain peak, Tijucas do Sul, Paraná, Brazil. Similar habitats surrounding the type locality were also sampled, but this species was never recorded elsewhere. The most similar species Thespieus caracaEvans, 1955 is also illustrated and compared, in order to provide clear diagnostic characters for species identification.
