Abstract:

The North and Central American Leptohyphidae (Leptohyphinae) consists of Allenhyphes Hofmann and Sartori, Haplohyphes Allen, Leptohyphes Eaton, and Vacupernius, n. gen. Leptohyphidae (Tricorythodinae, n. subfam.) of the same region consists of Asioplax, n. gen., Epiphrades, n. gen., Homoleptohyphes Allen and Murvosh, n. stat., Tricoryhyphes Allen and Murvosh, n. stat., Tricorythodes Ulmer, and Tricorythopsis Traver. Asioplax is from the Antilles, North, Central, and South America and includes A. corpulenta (Kilgore and Allen), n. comb., A. curiosa (Lugo-Ortiz and McCafferty), n. comb., A. dolani (Allen), n. comb., A. edmundsi (Allen), n. comb., A. nicholsae (Wang, Sites and McCafferty), n. comb., A. sacchulobranchis (Kluge and Naranjo), n. comb., A. sierramaestrae (Kluge and Naranjo), n. comb., and A. texana (Traver), n. comb. Epiphrades is from Central and South America and includes E. bullus (Allen), n. comb., E. cristatus (Allen), n. comb., and E. undatus (Lugo-Ortiz and McCafferty), n. comb. Vacupernius is from North and Central America and the Antilles and includes V. packeri (Allen), n. comb., V. paraguttatus (Allen), n. comb., and V. rolstoni (Allen), n. comb. Of species originally placed in HomoLeptohyphes only the type H. dimorphus (Allen), n. comb., is retained; H. mirus (Allen), n. comb. and H. quercus (Kilgore and Allen), n. comb., are added. Tricoryhyphes is also redefined and includes in North and Central America T. condylus (Allen), n. comb. and T. mulaiki, n. comb. Allenhyphes is revised to include an additional 10 species, including in North and Central America A. michaeli (Allen), n. comb., A. nanus (Allen), n. comb., and A. vescus (Allen), n. comb. Additional regional recombinations include Tricorythodes costaricanus (Ulmer), n. comb., T. robacki (Allen), n. comb., Tricorythopsis dicinctus (Allen and Brusca), n. comb., and T. melanobranchus (Allen and Brusca), n. comb. All higher taxa of the Leptohyphidae in North and Central America are reviewed, keyed, and illustrated.
