Abstract:
A taxonomic revision of the genus Leiodes Latreille of North and Central America is presented including a historical review, information on natural history, collecting techniques, diagnostic characters, and a brief discussion of zoogeography. Seventytwo species are recognized. Fortysix species are described as new, 26 from America north of Mexico, 18 from Mexico, 1 from Mexico and Belize (British Honduras) and 1 from Panama and Costa Rica.

 

The genus Leiodes is divided into 26 species groups without recognition of subgenera. A separate key is provided for the species of Canada and the United States, and another for the species of Mexico and Central America. Each species is described and illustrated, including all available data. Maps showing the distribution in North or Central America are presented for all species.
