Rhodochlora Warren, 1894 is a Neotropical genus of the largest and most attractive species of their kind. This article aims to characterize two additional species. Rhodochlora rufaria Warren, 1909 is a well-characterized species ranging from Peru to Venezuela. Rhodochlora elias Viidalepp, sp. nov. has similar wing markings to R. rufaria but differs in the shape of the lateral appendages of the uncus and has an eastern distribution in South America. Anothernew species, Rhodochlora ylle Lindt, sp. nov. from Costa Rica, resembles the western Neotropical Rhodochlora brunneipalpis Warren, 1894 in its wing markings, but again, it is morphologically different, and confined to the fauna of Mesoamerica.
