Abstract

The family Nudomideopsidae fam.nov. is proposed on the basis of an analysis of morphological characters of larvae and adults of species of Nudomideopsis and related genera, and consideration of the zoogeography of the group. The systematics and distribution of North American species are reviewed, and adults of Nudomideopsis (Allomideopsis) wichitaensis subgen.nov., sp.nov. are described.

Résumé

L’auteur propose la famille des Nudomidéopsidés (nouv. famille) sur la base d’une analyse des caractères morphologiques de larves et d’adultes d’espèces de Nudomideopsis et de genres apparentés, et de l’examen de la zoogéographie du groupe. Il passe en reveu la systématique et la distribution d’espèces nord-américaines et décrit des adultes de Nudomideopsis (Allomideopsis) wichitaensis (nouv. sous-genre, nouv. espèce).
