Both adult and immature morphology are described and illustrated, and the natural history, behaviour and symbiotic interactions with ants (myrmecophily) are documented. This new species, T. silvestre sp. nov., is known only from the type locality at Parque Nacional do Caparao, Minas Gerais state, Brazil. Due to the isolation of the known population, specialised host plant use, restricted geographic distribution and high degree of specificity in a vulnerable habitat, T. silvestre is considered threatened. Thus, monitoring this population is urgently needed, as well as the search for other populations of this butterfly in potential localities in order to evaluate its conservation status. 55 2 138 146 FAPESP [10/51340-8, 2011/08433-8, 2013/50297-0] CNPq [163119/2013-9, 302585/2011-7] CAPES [3200-14-0] National Science Foundation [DEB-1256742] RedeLep 'Rede Nacional de Pesquisa e Conservacao de Lepidopteros' SISBIOTA-Brasil/CNPq of the BIOTA-FAPESP Program [563332/2010-7, 11/50225-3] 'Dimensions US-BIOTA Sao Paulo: A multidisciplinary framework for biodiversity prediction in the Brazilian Atlantic forest hotspot' US NSF NASA Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP) Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq) Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP) Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)
