Abstract

This communication contains a correction of the nomenclature of tegminal veins in the genus Aegimia Stal, 1874 and a review of new material on the genus Ceraia Brunner-Wattenwyl, 1891 (Phaneropterinae). For the latter genus, a new species group (the Dentata group) is established, a composition of the former Capra group is revised, new data on some species distribution are given, as well as C. viktori sp. nov., C. cornutoides separata subsp. nov., C. legitima sp. nov., C. legitima angulata subsp. nov., C. sagittata sp. nov., C. propria sp. nov., C. capra megacerca subsp. nov., C. mollis sp. nov., C. colombiana sp. nov., C. oaxaca sp. nov., С. surinamensis granti subsp. nov. and C. woronovi sp. nov. are described from South America (Ecuador, Peru, Colombia) and Mexico. Two former subspecies, C. tibialoides panamensis Emsley et Nickle, 1969 and C. hemidactyloides stenopa Emsley et Nickle, 1969, are considered as distinct species: C. panamensis stat. nov. and C. stenopa stat. nov.
