| : | Characters diagnostic of the weevil genus Neomastix Dietz and of the 10 species in the genus are described and illustrated, and a key to the species is presented. Eight new species are described: N. cardinis (Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua); N. idolum (Mexico); N. materia (Brazil); N. metaphora (Brazil); N. numerus (Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands); N. spatium (Mexico); N. tempus (Colombia); N. veritas (Cuba). Lectotypes are designated for Neomastix solidaginis Dietz and N. punctatulus Dietz. Neomastix adults have been collected on plants of several different families, but larval feeding sites are not known for any of the species. |
