Magneuptychia nebulosa is a species of butterfly of the Nymphalidae family. It is found in northern Venezuela, where it has been recorded only from the slope of the Serranía del Litoral in the Cordillera de la Costa. Records from Colombia and Panama are probably based on misidentifications.
The length of the forewings is 19.6–21.5 mm for males and 19.6–21 mm for females. The forewing ground color is brown with the submarginal band dark brown, undulating and extending from the apex towards the tornus, delimiting a slightly darker area. The marginal band is dark brown and extends from the apex towards the tornus. The fringe is greyish brown. The hindwing color is brown with the submarginal band dark brown, undulating and extending from the apex the towards tornus. It is convex in each cell. The marginal band is dark brown and extends from the apex towards the tornus. The postmarginal and tornal areas are pale ocher and the fringe is greyish brown.[2]
