Currently known only from mid- to upper elevation montane forests of Costa Rica, <i>Nublapamea</i> is a disjunct southern extension of a largely northern hemisphere temperate region fauna. The life history of <i>Nublapameaaltivolans</i> is unknown; it may be associated with chusquea bamboo (<i>Chusquea</i> Kunth), as most Apameini are dietary specialists on graminoids.ZooKeys121-130https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9848747biostudies-literatureConfirmed occurrence of the tribe Apameini (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae, Noctuinae) in the Neotropical region: a new genus endemic to Costa Rican montane forests.PMC9848747Schmidt BCfalseConfirmed occurrence of the tribe Apameini (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae, Noctuinae) in the Neotropical region: a new genus endemic to Costa Rican montane forests.The genus <i>Nublapamea</i> <b>gen. nov.</b> is described (type species: <i>Tracheaaltivolans</i> Schaus), here determined to belong to the primarily temperate Holarctic tribe Apameini (Noctuidae: Noctuinae).
