Abstract
Eleven new species of Newsteadia are described, and the already known four species are redescribed from the regions studied. A key is presented for th e identification of 15 species currently included in the genus from these r egions. A modified concept of the genus is presented and several new charac ters are given as diagnostic of the genus. The genus Trans-newsteadia is sy nonymized. The zoogeography of the genus is discussed.
