The New World genus Lepidosina Marshall & Buck gen. n. is described including nine new and two previously described species: L. angusticercus Marshall & Buck sp. n. (Caribbean, Central and South America), L. argentinensis Marshall & Buck sp. n. (Argentina), L. cubensis Marshall & Buck sp. n. (Cuba), L. evanescens Marshall & Buck sp. n. (Central and South America), L. gibba (Spuler) comb. n. (Florida, Caribbean), L. inaequalis (Malloch) comb. n. (southern U.S.A., Central America, Venezuela), L. multispinulosa Marshall & Buck sp. n. (Ecuador, Peru), L. platessa Marshall & Buck sp. n. (Bolivia), L. proxineura Marshall & Buck sp. n. (Brazil), L. quadrisquamosa Marshall & Buck sp. n. (Venezuela), and L. rutricauda Marshall & Buck sp. n. (Colombia to Peru). Keys to males and females are provided, and the species level phylogeny is analyzed based on a matrix of 24 morphological characters. The sister group of this well-defined, highly apomorphic genus remains unknown. Most species are restricted to lowland habitats. Larvae and puparia of Lepidosina remain unknown.
