Abstract

The Rhinophoridae are a small family with about 150 named species worldwide. Seventeen species of this family are known from the Neotropical Region: 14 species of Bezzimyia Townsend; the monotypic genera Shannoniella Townsend and Trypetidomima Townsend; and the Palaearctic immigrant Melanophora roralis (Linnaeus) (Pape & Arnaud 2001; Pape in press). Undescribed species of Bezzimyia and Shannoniella as well as species that cannot be assigned to any of the currently described genera are known (P. Cerretti, pers. comm., & TP, unpubl.), and the Neotropical rhinophorid fauna is still superficially known.
