Abstract:

The classification of the Languriidae is reviewed and a catalogue of the 98 described genera is provided. Salient adult characters and comments on the monophyly are discussed for each family group. Notes on the taxonomic status of genera are included and type species are designated for Glisonotha Motschulsky (Glysonotha setosa Motschulsky), Lacertobelus Gorham (Lacertobelus dentipes Gorham), Leptolanguria Fowler (Languria longicollis Fowler), Loberolus Grouvelle (Loberolus agilis Grouvelle), Ortholanguroides Fowler (Ortholanguroides egensis Fowler), and Philophlaeus Germain (Philophlaeus aeneus Germain). Two genericnames proposed are Slipinskiella, new name (type species: Languria dimidiata Guérin-Méneville; fifty new combinations) and Crowsonguptus, new name (type species: Coelocryptus mexicanus Sharp; four new combinations). One specific name is proposed: Hapalips investigatus new name(for Hapalips fuscus (Lea) new combination, nec Hapalips fuscus Reitter). New generic synonymies are given as follows: Cathartocryptus Sharp (= Xenoscelinus Grouvelle; seven new combinations), IsolanguriaLea (= Hapalips Reitter; one new combination) and Tetraphala Sturm (= Tetralanguria Crotch, = Tetralanguroides Fowler, = Metabelus Gorham; twenty three new combinations). The genera Stenodina Fairmaire and Fitoa Dajoz are transferred from Endomychidae to Languriidae. The species name Pachylanguria paivae Wollaston is corrected to Pachylanguria paivai.
