Abstract

The genus Bdelyrus Harold is revised. Twenty new species are described: B. amazonensis, B. apaporisae, B. boliviensis, B. braziliensis, B. bromeliatilis, B. genieri, B. gilli, B. grandis, B. howdeni, B. iauaretensis, B. laplanadae, B. leptomerus, B. lobatus, B. metaensis, B. paraensis, B. parvoculus, B. parvus, B. pecki, B. peruviensis, and B. triangulus. Separate keys are given for males and females. Descriptions, illustrations, and range maps are provided, and a phylogenetic analysis is included.

Résumé

On trouvera ici la révision du genre Bdelyrus Harold. Vingt nouvelles espèces sont décrites : B. amazonensis, B. apaporisae, B. boliviensis, B. braziliensis, B. bromeliatilis, B. genieri, B. gilli, B. grandis, B. howdeni, B. iauaretensis, B. laplanadae, B. leptomerus, B. lobatus, B. metaensis, B. paraensis, B. parvoculus, B. parvus, B. pecki, B. peruviensis et B. triangulus. Des clés distinctes permettront d’identifier les mâles et les femelles. Des descriptions, illustrations et cartes de répartition ainsi que les résultats d’une analyse phylogénétique sont également présentés.
