Abstract

Aslamidium (Neoaslamidium) flavomaculata from Colombia, Ecuador, and Panama and A. (N.) lepidum from Colombia are described as new and illustrated. Demotispa strandi Uhmann is transferred to Aslamidium (Neoaslamidium) and is reported for the first time from Panama. A key to the known species of Aslamidium is presented.
