Abstract

A new genus of Neocoelidiinae, Coronalidia gen. nov., and two new species, Coronalidia pictapennis sp. nov. and Coronalidia sagittata sp. nov., are described from Ecuador. Coronalidia gen. nov. can be distinguished from other genera of Neocoelidiinae by the long coronal suture, almost reaching the anterior margin of crown, its elongated process in the base of anal tube, and ventral margin of the aedeagus with denticles. The females of this genus are unknown. Illustrations and the known geographical distribution of the studied species are given.
