Abstract

Four new species are described: Urgleptes noguerai sp. nov. (Acanthocinini), from Mexico; Styloleptus charynae sp. nov. (Acanthocinini), from Bolivia; Nealcidion achiraense sp. nov. (Acanthocinini), from Bolivia; and Estola nearnsi sp. nov. (Desmiphorini), from Bolivia. Notes on the differences between Pseudolepturges Gilmour, 1957 and Urgleptes Dillon, 1956 are provided. Styloleptus nigricans (Fisher, 1935) is synonymized with Leptostylus lilliputanus Thomson, 1865, and the species is transferred to Styloleptus Dillon, 1956.
