Abstract

The seven nominal species of Lonchaeidae described by Kertész, namely, Lamprolonchaea metatarsata (Kertész), Lonchaea megacera Kertész, Silba albisquama (Kertész), Silba biroi (Kertész), Silba pollinosa (Kertész), Silba excisa (Kertész), and Lonchaea cyaneonitens Kertész are redescribed and figured. Lectotypes are designated for metatarsata, albisquama, pollinosa, and excisa; biroi is sunk as a synonym of albisquama. Figures of the male genitalia of Lonchaea dasyscutella McAlpine, related to Lonchaea megacera, and of Silba imitata McAlpine and Silba emulata McAlpine, two species that are closely related to Silba albisquama, are provided.
