Abstract

The genera Cryptodacus, Haywardina, and Rhagoletotrypeta are revised, and the cladistic relationships among their species are analyzed. Cryptoplagia Aczel is synonymized with Haywardina, and Lezca Foote with Cryptodacus. Twenty-one species, including ten new species, are recognized. Keys, diagnoses, and illustrations to identify them are presented. Solanum trichoneuron is reported as a host plant of H. cuculi, and Celtis iguanaea as a host of R. pastranai.
