Abstract
Palliolatrix gen.n. is erected and distinguished from Peridinetus Schönherr and Peridinetellus Champion. Ten Neotropical species are included, with the following seven newly described: P. palliolatrix sp.n. (type species; Costa Rica and Panama), P. attenuata sp.n. (Costa Rica and Panama), P. crassa sp.n. (Colombia), P. infucata sp.n. (Costa Rica), P. pulchra sp.n., (Costa Rica and Panama), P. tuberosa sp.n. (Guatemala, Nicaragua to Colombia) and P. virgata sp.n. (Colombia). New combinations are P. lineola (Kirsch) (from Megops Schönherr), P. insignis (Chevrolat) and P. quadrimaculata (Champion) (both from Peridinetus).
