Hymenopodidae
Only one genus in the subfamily
Epaphroditinae
occurs in the Neotropics and it is restricted to the Greater Antilles.
Epaphrodita
Serville
contains three species:
E. musarum
(Beauvois, 1805)
and
E. lobivertex
Lombardo & Perez-Gelabert, 2004
are treated by
Lombardo & Perez-Gelabert (2004)
, and
E. undulata
(
Saussure, 1870
)
was revalidated by
Roy (2005a)
. General remarks on
Epaphrodita
can be found in
Salazar (2004a)
. The inclusion of this genus within the
Hymenopodidae
is questionable.
