cupernius, n. gen. Leptohyphidae (Tricorythodinae, n. subfam.) of the same
region consists of Asioplax, n. gen., Epiphrades, n. gen., Homoleptohyphes
Allen and Murvosh, n. stat., Tricoryhyphens Alien and Murvosh, n. stat., Tr
icorythodes Ulmer, and Tricorythopsis Traver. Asioplax is from the Antilles
, North, Central, and South America and includes A. corpulenta (Kilgore and
Alien), n. comb., A. curiosa (Lugo-Ortiz and McCafferty), n. comb., A. dol
ani (Allen), n. comb., A. edmundsi (Allen), n. comb., A. nicholsae (Wang, S
ites and McCafferty), n. comb., A. sacchulobranchis (Kluge and Naranjo), n.
comb., A. sierramaestrae (Kluge and Naranjo), n. comb., and A. texana (Tra
ver), n. comb. Epiphrades is from Central and South America and includes E,
bullus (Allen), n. comb., E. cristatus (Allen), n, comb., and E. undatus (
Lugo-Ortiz and McCafferty), n. comb. Vacupernius is from North and Central
America and the Antilles and includes V. packeri (Allen), n. comb., V. para
guttatus (Allen), n. comb., and V, rolstoni (Allen), n. comb. Of species or

omb., is retained; H. mirus (Allen), n. comb. and H. quercus (Kilgore and A
lien), n, comb., are added. Tricoryhyphes is also redefined and includes in
