Abstract

New data on Phaneropterinae from Ecuador, French Guiana, Peru and Bolivia are given. Vellea pulchra sp. nov., Euceraia umbrosa sp. nov., E. subaquila colorata subsp. nov., E. cercata sp. nov., E. cercata elchaco subsp. nov., E. convoluta sp. nov., E. proxima sp. nov., E. abnormalis parallela subsp. nov., E. varia sp. nov., E. varia simulata subsp. nov., E. gusarovi sp. nov., Pycnopalpa porphyretica sp. nov., P. occidentalis sp. nov., P. gracilenta sp. nov., Hetaira angusta sp. nov. and H. morona sp. nov. are described. New subgenera of the genus Pycnopalpa Audinet-Serville, 1838 (Vitrosoria subgen. nov. and Gracisoria subgen. nov.) are established. Euceraia sanguinea Piza, 1950, sp. dist. and Zenirella Piza, 1973, gen. dist. are restored from synonymy. Zenirella punctata (Brunner-Wattenwyl, 1878), comb. nov. and H. aurigera (Rehn, 1918), comb. nov. are transferred from the genera Ligocatinus Rehn, 1901 and Topana Walker, 1869 to Zenirella and Hetaira Brunner-Wattenwyl, 1891, respectively. Two former genera are included in the genera Hetaira and Gnathoclita Hagenbach, 1841 (Pleminiinae) as their subgenera Atopana Vignon, 1930, stat. nov. and Disceratus Scudder, 1869, stat. nov. (= Tettohenicus Gorochov, 2012, syn. nov.), respectively. Some new data on species distribution are given.
