Abstract

Two genera, Acailandica and Ipamerica, and five species (Acailandica acailandiae, A. maja, A. hilara, A. cacaulandiae, Ipamerica auctuncus) are described as new. Species of Acailandica are brightly colored (= telochromatic), whereas those of Ipamerica are cryptic. Carpocapsa comptana Walker, Grapholitha subtilana Zeller, and Laspeyresia pyrozona Meyrick are transferred to Acailandica, resulting in the following new combinations: Acailandica comptana (Walker), A. subtilana (Zeller), and A. pyrozona (Meyrick).
