Abstract

A new diagnosis for Acheroxenylla Ellis, 1976 is proposed, based on new characteristics recently discovered in other species of the genus. A new species living on guano from oil bird guacharo is described and illustrated and its Barcode Index Number (BIN) from BOLD System is given. A key for the identification of the four known species is also included.
