	abstract = {Three new species are described in the genus Ptous, P. cecropiae, n. sp., P. woldai, n. sp., and P. liebermanorum, n. sp., and P. otidocephalinus Champion is redescribed. These species and at least three other undescribed forms can be separated into two groups. The species are illustrated and a key is provided. Two species have been reared from members of the plant genus Cecropia (Cecropiaceae), and a third has been collected on Cecropia as adults. Members of the genus Ptous are hypothesized to be part of a mimicry complex possibly based on the weevil genus Myrmex as Mullerian models.},
