Hah. Colombia, Quebrada de la Sarga, Rio Tomana. 



This species figures in some collections as JV. aster, but it 

 is quite distinct. i\ r . aster, Godm., is the Ecuador dark race 

 of stella. N. glabra, Godm., is exceedingly close to sfella 

 and is doubtfully of subspecific rank. N. decora, Godm., 

 is quite a distinct species with much narrower wings. 

 Haensch, in Seitz, makes these all forms of sttlla, but was 

 evidently unacquainted with the types. 



Napeogenes mesosticta, sp. n. 



$ . Antennas yellow-tipped. Fore wing dusky transparent, 

 with black margins tinged with reddish interiorly. No 

 discoidal spot. A very distinct row of submarginal white 

 spots. Inner margin very broadly black from base for one- 

 third, thence tapering to tornus. Costa blackish and a half 

 black spot across centre of cell merged partly in the black 

 costal stripe. Hind wing dusky transparent, with very 

 broad black outer margin tinged internally with reddish. A 

 distinct series of white submarginal spots. "Yellowish along 

 inner margin and with a broad black costa widened con- 

 siderably at base. Fore wing below with the costa, cell- 

 mark, and inner crenulated edging of marginal band broadly 

 brownish red. Hind wing below with the costa broadly 

 brownish red, succeeded by a horizontal black streak, followed" 

 by reddish again in outer half of cell. Inner edging of sub- 

 marginal band broadly brownish red. 



Expanse 68 mm. 



Hah. Peru, Pozuzo, 5000-6000 feet. 



Related to N. glycera, but a distinct species. 



Xapeogenes polymela, sp. n. 



Very close to N. harbona. 



<$ . Fore wing black and transparent. The costa black. 

 Discoidal spot black. Outer margin broadly black, with very 

 distinct white submarginal spots. A triangular black patch 

 between median and vein 2. Inner margin broadly black.
