Abstract

Three new species of Neotropical Herminiinae are described: Rejectaria sixola Goldstein new species, R. barbuti Goldstein new species, and R. olivenca Goldstein new species. All exhibit conspicuous white forewing pattern elements including a subterminal line interrupted between M1 and M2 by a visible wedge, and possess male androconia associated with wings, palpi, and legs, including a subcostal fold in the forewing, as well as scute-like cornuti in the vesica of the male genitalia. The new species share most of these characters with R. niciasalis Walker with which they form a species complex.
