Abstract

Two new species, Micropeplus volcanus from Mexico and M. smetanai from British Columbia, are described and illustrated. New distributional and habitat data are given for nine other species of the subfamily. The male genitalia of Kalissus nitidus Leconte and Peplomicrus acumen (Sharp) are illustrated for the first time. A revised key to the New World species of the genus Micropeplus is presented.
