Holotype male, Sta. Helena, Bolivia, 1922 (W. M. Mann), Mulford Biological 
Exploration; one male, La Paz, Bolivia, 24 km. w. of Coripata, May 2-6, 1969 (P. 
and P. Spangler) (USNM). Four males Callanga, Peru, Paucartambo Prov., 
Dept. Cuzco, Feb. 23, 1952 (F. Woytkowski) (NCS). One male, Callanga, Peru; 
and one male, Coroico, Bolivia (RMS). One male Vilcanota, Peru (MMB). One 
male, Callanga, Peru (HNHM). 
S. reclusa, n. sp. is longer and more slender than most other species of 
Stehlikiana. The markings and the form of the male pygofer are distinctive.

FiGurE 31 
Length of female 11.1 mm, male unknown. Head with median length of crown 
slightly less than six-tenths interocular width and slightly less than four-tenths 
transocular width, antennal ledge without a carina, clypeus with muscle impres- 
sions distinct, clypellus with contour continuing profile of clypeus. Thorax with 
dorsopleural carinae almost complete; scutellum not transversely striate behind 
transverse depression; forewing coriaceous (damaged apically, but with base of 
inner apical cell membranous); hindleg with length of first tarsomere approx- 
imately equal to combined length of two more distal tarsomeres. Female ab- 
dominal sternum VII tapered gradually for the genus (much as in S. gaudialis, n. 
sp., fig. 407); second valvulae and pygofer much as in S. Aalticula (Jacobi) (fig. 45 
jn). 
Ground color of dorsum, including forewings, orange, with a median black 
spot at apex of crown, a pair of posteriorly diverging dark longitudinal lines near 
middle of pronotum, a black spot in each basal angle of scutellum; on forewings, 
basal portion of costal margin narrowly, a small diagonal mark near midclavus 
touching commissural margin, three claval spots touching claval suture at base, 
at midlength, and at apex, a discal transverse spot on basal half of corium and 
two transcorial bands in apical half of corium, black; face and legs concolorous 
with dorsum except darkened tarsi. 
Holotype female, Colombia, 1941 (L. Richter) (USNM). 
S. absona, n. sp., is the largest species I have seen in the genus. It is also dis- 
tinctively colored. In form, it is closer to S. obsoleta (Signoret) than to other 
species of Stehlikiana.

Length 9.3 mm. Head with median length of crown more than one-half in- 
terocular width and one-third transocular width or slightly less, antennal ledge 
without a distinct carina, clypeus with muscle impressions distinct, clypellus
