Abstract

A new species of Trieces Townes from Brazil, Trieces tyloidalis n. sp., is described and illustrated. This is the first known species of Trieces with tyloids in the male antennae. The genus is recorded from Belize, Ecuador and Venezuela for the first time. Trieces horisme Gauld & Sithole, Trieces platysoma Townes, Trieces riodinis Gauld & Sithole and Trieces tuvule Gauld & Sithole, are recorded for the first time from several South American countries. A key to twelve South American species of Trieces is provided.
