Abstract

New genera Hirtodeceia, Marmarodeceia, Oncodometopus, Pachyopella, Poecilolycia, Trisapromyza, and Xeniconeura are described. The first two are exclusively Neotropical; the others occur also in the Nearctic Region. Relationships with other genera are discussed, and included species are listed. Homoneura (Euhomoneura) pictipennis Hendel is a preoccupied name, and the species is renamed and assigned to Marmarodeceia. Lyciella Collin is discussed, and L. rorida (Fallén) is recorded for the first time in North America.

Résumé

L’auteur décrit de nouveaux genres Hirtodeceia, Marmarodeceia, Oncodometopus, Pachyopella, Poecilolycia, Trisapromyza, et Xeniconeura. Les deux premiers sont exclusivement néotropicaux, les autres apparaissent aussi dans la région néarctique. L’interrelation avec les autres genres est discutée, et les espèces qui doivent être incluses sont énumérées. Homoneura (Euhomoneura) pictipennis Hendel est un homonyme, mais l’espèce est maintenant renommée et classifiée sous le nouveau genre Marmarodeceia. Le genre Lyciella Collin est discuté, et L. rorida (Fallén) est vu pour la première fois en Amérique du Nord.
