Abstract

The placement of Carmenia Roewer in the Gagrellinae (Gagrellidae) is verified. The genus and its single species are redescribed and illustrated. The similarity of Carmenia bunifrons Roewer to Sclerosomatinae and Gagrellinae from eastern Asia is noted. The New World genera of Gagrellinae and the South American species formerly placed in the Leiobuninae (Gagrellidae) are briefly discussed. The North American genus Trachyrhinus Weed is transferred to the Gagrellinae.
