Abstract

The ardistomine complex includes the genera Ardistomis Putzeys, 1846, Semiardistomis Kult, 1950 andAspidoglossa Putzeys, 1846. Seven new species of the genus Ardistomis Putzeys are described and illustrated: A. drumonti n. sp. from French Guiana, A. minutus n. sp. from Bolivia, A. samyni n. sp. from Honduras, A. dostali n. sp. from Costa Rica and A. onorei n. sp., A. bulirschi n. sp., and A. vergelae n. sp. from Ecuador. Two monophyletic groups are defined: group muelleri and group ovatus, both with montane flightless species. A checklist includes valid names, new synonymies and distributional records for Ardistomis.
