''Redonda'' is a butterfly genus from the subfamily Satyrinae in the family Nymphalidae. The genus is endemic from the Páramos in the Cordillera de Mérida in Venezuela, in northern South America. There are 10 known species, which are separated in distinct mountain ranges. Most species show some degree of sexual dimorphism in wingsize, in the most extreme cases females show some degree of wing deformation which might point to incipient brachyptery. == Taxonomy and Nomenclature == The genus was described by Adams & Bernard in 1981 based on wing venation, male genitalia, wing color pattern and ecological characteristics of the type species ''Pedaliodes empetrus'' originally described by german entomologist Theodor Otto Thieme in 1905.〔Adams, M. J. and G. I. Bernard. 1981. Pronophiline butterflies (Satyridae) of the Cordillera de Mérida, Venezuela. Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 71: 343–372.〕 These authors considered the genus to be monobasic, but recognized two subspecies, and suggested a close relationship with two other endemic genera in isolated mountain ranges.〔Adams, M. J. 1977. Trapped in a Colombian Sierra. Geographical Magazine 49: 250–254.〕〔Adams, M. J. and G. I. Bernard. 1979. Pronophiline butterflies (Satyridae) of the Serranía de Valledupar, Colombia-Venezuela border. Systematic Entomology 4: 95–118.〕 Another species was described 20 years later, ''Redonda bordoni'', from the southwest corner of the cordillera de Mérida in Táchira.〔 Other taxa were already recognized, but there were evident gaps in distribution and ecological data and no formal desciption was attempted until 2015.〔Ferrer-Paris, J.
