Abstract

The world fauna of the genus Piezura Rondani is revised in order to resolve a series of long standing taxonomic errors. All species are redescribed, and species concepts and distribution ranges of most species have been modified. The genitalia of all species are illustrated and keys to each sex are provided. The female of P. nearctica Chillcott is described for the first time. Piezura pardalina shanxiensis Wang et al, 1992 is treated as an unavailable name, and P. pardalina shanxiensis Xue et al, 1999 is accepted as the valid name for this taxon.
