Abstract

The genus Dimares Hagen is divided into two genera, Dimares with one species in Brazil and Argentina, and a new genus Millerleon with three species in the coastal desert of Peru. A world-wide key for the genera in the tribe Dimarini is presented based on adults and larvae. Also, a key for the species in the genus Millerleon is presented. A diagnosis of the tribe, the two American genera and the American species are provided with new records for the species. Data are provided about the biology and morphology of the larvae of Dimares elegans and Millerleon bellulus.
