Abstract

The genus Dietta Sharp, 1876 was previously known in the Neotropics only by D. sharpi Matthews, 1887 from Panama. This paper describes a new subgenus of Dietta, Mesodiettasubgen. nov., occurring in Middle America and northern South America west of the Andes, composed of D. (M.) sharpi Matthews and eight additional new species: D. (M.) esmeraldassp. nov., D. (M.) latidenssp. nov., D. (M.) lobidenssp. nov., D. (M.) mesoamericasp. nov., D. (M.) mexicanussp. nov., D. (M.) puntarenassp. nov., D. (M.) rectispinasp. nov., and D. (M). uncinatasp. nov. Additionally, seven new species of Dietta, subgenus Dietta, are described: D. (D.) argentinensissp. nov., D. (D.) atlanticasp. nov., D. (D.) geraisensissp. nov., D. (D.) guianasp. nov., D. (D.) huanucosp. nov., D. (D.) pauloensissp. nov., and D.(D.) sucumbiossp. nov.

Résumé

Jusqu'à maintenant, on ne connaissait qu'une seule espèce néotropicale du genre Dietta Sharp, 1876 soit D. sharpi Matthews, 1887 du Panama. On trouvera ici la description d'un nouveau sous-genre de Dietta, Mesodiettasubgen. nov., qui habite l'Amérique centrale et le nord de l'Amérique du Sud, à l'ouest des Andes et qui comprend D. (M.) sharpi Matthews, ainsi que huit espèces additionnelles nouvelles : D. (M.) esmeraldassp. nov., D. (M.) latidenssp. nov., D. (M.) lobidenssp. nov., D. (M.) mesoamericasp. nov., D. (M.) mexicanussp. nov., D. (M.) puntarenassp. nov., D. (M.) rectispinasp. nov. et D. (M.) uncinatasp. nov. On trouvera également la description de sept nouvelles espèces de Dietta, sous-genre Dietta : D. (D.) argentinensissp. nov., D. (D.) atlanticasp. nov., D. (D.) geraisensissp. nov., D. (D.) guianasp.nov., D. (D.) huanucosp. nov., D. (D.) pauloensissp. nov. et D. (D.) sucumbiossp. nov.
