Two new species and two new subspecies of the satyrine butterfly genus <em>Punargentus </em>Heimlich – <em>P. atusparia </em>n. sp., <em>P. heimlichi </em>n. sp., <em>P. blanchardi libertas </em>n. ssp. and<em> P. atusparia yupania </em>n. ssp.<em> </em>– are described from north-central Peru (Áncash, Huánuco and La Libertad). The affinities of the new taxa are evaluated based on molecular data obtained by target enrichment and COI barcoding. <em>Punargentus </em>is fully supported and divides into two branches, <em>P. lamna </em>clade with four species, and <em>P. blanchardi </em>clade with three species, two of which described here. The species of the <em>P. blanchardi </em>clade occur in Andean shrubland, at 2800-3600 m, whereas those of <em>P. lamna </em>clade are found in puna grassland at 3600-4600 m, with occasional overlapping. Considered their habitat preference, none of the newly described species requires immediate conservation measures.
