Abstract

Four new species of Scatopsidae from Mexico are described and illustrated based on adult morphology, two belonging to the genus Thripomorpha Enderlein and two to the genus Neorhegmoclemina Cook. These species are named Thripomorpha ungula, n. sp., Thripomorpha liliae, n. sp., Neorhegmoclemina dentata, n. sp. and N. raptoria, n. sp. The latter two represent the first record of Neorhegmoclemina Cook in Mexico. All of these species were collected with Malaise traps in the States of Hidalgo and Guerrero.
