Resumen:
The Epicauta vittata group are commonly known as striped blister beetles and was defined by previous authors to include
32 species, 18 from North America, Central America and northern South America, and 14 from southern South America.
In the present revision we revised 22 species from South America, excluding the following southern South American species:Epicauta vittata group are commonly known as striped blister beetles and was defined by previous authors to include

In the present revision we revised 22 species from South America, excluding the following southern South American species:
E. borgmeieri Denier, 1935; E. floydwerneri Martínez, 1955; E. franciscana Denier, 1935; E. fulginosa (Oliver,
1795); E. purpureiceps (Berg, 1889); E. rutilifrons Borchmann, 1930; and E. zebra (Dohrn, 1876) because they do not
have the diagnostic characters of the group. The species of the E. vittata group from southern South America are: E. bosqiDenier, 1935; E. floydwerneri Martínez, 1955; E. franciscana Denier, 1935; E. fulginosa (Oliver,

species E. excavata (Klug, 1825); and E. semivittata (Fairmaire, 1875) until now not included in other groups. We provide
a complete diagnosis of the E. vittata group from southern South America, redescribing and illustrating all included species.
Detailed descriptions and illustrations of female and male genitalia are presented for the first time for these species.
Finally, we provide an identification key for the ten species presently included in the E. vittata group, and update the geographic
distribution of each species.E. missionum (Berg, 1881); E. monachica (Berg, 1883); E. rutilifrons Borchmann, 1930; plus two more
