A new species of Ubristes Walker, 1852, U. mirabilissimus sp. nov., is described from the Napo Province in the Amazonian part of Ecuador. A key is given to distinguish this species from the other four known species in this genus. Moreover, DNA barcodes were obtained, which constitute the first molecular data for the genus Ubristes.
