Extract

Cazier (1953, pp. 1-13) listed six species of Acoma having three-segmented antennal clubs. Though some of these species are easily distinguished, Cazier noted that others vary considerably. Since Cazier's revision, additional material has become available that makes further consideration of this group of Acoma worthwhile. In this paper, a key to the species having a three-segmented antennal club is given, the six known species are redescribed, and nine new species are described.
