Abstract
The North and Central American Leptohyphidae (Leptohyphinae) consists of Al lenhyphes Hofmann and Sartori, Haplohyphes Alien, Leptohyphes Eaten, and Va 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.

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 iginally placed in HomoLeptohyphes only the type H. dimorphus (Allen), n, c 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 North and Central America T. condylus (Allen), n. comb. and T. mulaiki, n. comb.
