Abstract

A treatise involving eight genera that form a monophyletic group within Neorthopleurinae is presented. Three new species of the subfamily are described: Agaphalera corallina, sp. nov., A. cymatilis, sp. nov., and Loedelia westcotti, sp. nov. An intergeneric phylogeny is proposed and a key to genera is included. Keys to the species of Agaphalera Opitz 2009b and Loedelia Lucas 1920 are included.
