Subfamily
Ectrichodiinae
There are 22 genera and more than 100 described species of
Ectrichodiinae
in the New World (Gil-Santana
et al
. 2015). Gil-Santana
et al
. (2015) provided a summary of the taxonomy of this group and a key to the genera of the New World. Because of the lack of consensus of previous authors about the validity or recognition of some genera (
Dougherty 1995
,
Carpintero & Maldonado 1996
), there is a need of a taxonomic revision and a phylogenetic analysis of all these genera (Gil-Santana
et al
. 2015).
