Basionym:— Ctenopteris stella Copeland (1955[1956]: 452).
Type:— PERU: Cuzco: Valley of Río Urubamba, Bues32( holotype, US). Terpsichore stellais a common species that has mostly been identified as T. lanigera, from which it can be differentiated by lacking lime dots on the hydathodes and by the darker indument of the abaxial rhachis surfaces. Terpsichore stellaranges from Costa ica to Boliviaand is extremely plastic in its habit as well as indument. We recognise two distinct forms, one corresponding to the typeof the species which we call Terpsichore stellavar. stella, and the other which we here describe as a new variety.
