Abstract

Epiplateinae is a small subfamily of Richardiidae composed by three genera: Automola Loew, Epiplatea Loew and Omomyia Coquillett. Automola and Epiplatea have three and five valid species, respectively; both are widespread in the Neotropical Region. Omomyia has three valid species, which are restricted to arid areas of the southwestern United States. A list of all species of Epiplateinae, their previously known distribution and new records are provided. Material examined and maps with the geographic distribution of each species are also provided.
