Abstract

The genus Euphyllodromia is reviewed. Three new species (E. propinqua sp. nov., E. rasnitsyni sp. nov. and E. tingomariensis sp. nov.) and a first fossil representative from the Colombian Copal (Pleistocene-Holocene) (E. cf. angustata) are described. E. angustata, E. peruana, E. albomaculata, E. venezuelica, E. hystrix, E. erytromelas, E. nigrochlamys and E. boliviensis are redescribed. A detailed morphological description of the male genitalia is provided for the first time. Geographical distribution of the studied species is clarified.
