Abstract

The identities of the 12 previously described species of Neosilba McAlpine, seven of which are represented among the syntypes of pendula (Bezzi), are established: batesi (Curran), certa (Walker), dimidiata (Curran), fuscipennis (Curran), glaberrima (Wiedemann), longicerata (Hennig), major (Malloch) [(= magna (Hennig), new synonymy], parva (Hennig), pendula (Bezzi), perezi (Romero S. and Ruppel), and pseudopendula (Korytkowski and Ojeda). Three new species, also represented among the syntypes of pendula, are described: oaxacana and peltae from Mexico, and zadolicha from Colombia and Brazil. Lectotypes are designated for magna, parva, pendula, and perezi. “Carpolonchaeadevions Hennig is placed in Silba Macquart, and “Carpolonchaeaintermedia Hennig is transferred to Lonchaea Fallen (new combination). New keys to the world genera of Lonchaeidae and to all described species of Neosilba are provided. Fifty-four illustrations, mostly of male and female terminalia, are given.

Résumé

L'auteur identifie les 12 espèces déjà décrites de Neosilba McAlpine, dont sept sont représentées parmi les syntypes de pendula (Bezzi), soit batesi (Curran), certa (Walker), dimidiata (Curran), fuscipennis (Curran), glaberrima (Wiedemann), longicerata (Hennig), major (Malloch) [(= magna (Hennig), nouveau synonyme], parva (Hennig), pendula (Bezzi), perezi (Romero S. et Ruppel) et pseudopendula (Korytkowski et Ojeda). Trois nouvelles espèces, également représentées parmi les syntypes de pendula, sont décrites, soit oaxacana et peltae du Mexique, ainsi que zadolicha de la Colombie et du Brésil. L'ouvrage désigne des lectotypes pour les espèces magna, parva, pendula et perezi. Carpolonchaea devions Hennig demeure dans Silba Macquart et Carpolonchaea intermedia Hennig passe dans le genre Lonchaea Fallen (nouvelle combinaison). L'ouvrage présente de nouvelles clefs d'identification des genres mondiaux de Lonchaeidae et de toutes les espèces décrites de Neosilba, ainsi que cinquante-quatre figures, principalement de terminalia mâles et femelles.
