Abstract

The Neotropical genus Ernocornutia Razowski is compared with Pseudomeritastis Obraztsov, 1966, Seticosta Razowski, 1986, Ernocornutina Razowski, 1988, and Eristparcula Razowski & Becker, 2001. Seven new species of Ernocornutia from Ecuador are described and illustrated: E. firna, sp. n., E. paracatopta, sp. n., E. chiribogana, sp. n., E. termasiana, sp. n., E. sangayan , sp. n., E. pilaloana, sp. n., and E. pululahuana, sp. n. The new species bring to 12 the number of species currently included in the genus.
