In Ecuador, the genus Tortopus is represented by one species, Tortopus arenales Molineri recorded in the province of Esmeraldas, Pacific coast region. Tortopus yasuni sp. nov. is described here from adults of both sexes for the Ecuadorian Amazon region, Orellana province. The new species is characterized by: 1) forewing length 11-13 mm (male) and 15-16 mm (female); 2) translucent yellow forewings, transverse and longitudinal veins pale, in the male veins Sc and R1 lightly pigmented gray up to 2/3 of the wing length and in the female lightly pigmented gray up to the apical end
of the wing; 3) hindwing hyaline in male and in female veins Sc and R1 are shaded gray up to 2/3 of wing length; 4) parastylus long, 3.3 times the length of the pedestal base and in lateral view the parastylus reaches 0.31 of the forceps length; 5) species light yellow with gray shading especially in the center of the pronotum and on the occiput between the ocelli, except around the middle ocellus.
