Abstract

The genus Mendozaphylus Carvalho and Carpintero, 1991, endemic to Argentina, is reviewed. Mendozaphylus payuniense new species from Mendoza, M. similaris new species from Salta, and M. volckmannii new species from Neuquén are described as new. The nominal genus Ampimpacoris Weirauch and Schuh, 2010 is synonymized with Mendozaphylus, resulting in the following new combination: Mendozaphilus flourensii (Weirauch and Schuh, 2010), new combination. Mendozaphylus flourensii from Tucuman and M. mendocinus Carvalho and Carpintero, 1991, the type species from Mendoza, are briefly redescribed, and the tribal placement of Mendozaphylus is discussed.
