We diagnose and describe Colonanthes korytkowski new species from Panamá and discuss the placement of the genus in Litini Bruand, 1859 (Gelechiinae). The genus was represented by a single species, Colonanthes plectanopa Meyrick, 1923, described from two male specimens collected at Manaus, Brazil and Yurimaguas, Peru. We include the first female description of a species in the genus and expand the distribution of the genus north by over 1000 km.
