Abstract:

The five North American species of the genus Neottiglossa are reviewed. Diagnoses are provided for the genus Neottiglossa, for the two subgenera, and for the North American species. Neottiglossa trilineata (Kirby) and N. undata (Say) belong in the nominate subgenus, while N. cavifrons Stål, N. sulcifrons Stål, and N. tumidifrons Downes belong in the subgenus Texas Kirkaldy. Neotiglossa coronaciliata Ruckes, 1957 is placed as a junior synonym of Neotiglossa cavifrons Stål, 1872; and N. californica Bliven, 1958 is placed as a junior synonym of N. undata (Say, 1832). A key is provided for the identification of species.
