Abstract

Based on the study of male and female genitalia and the external features of Cryptobia musae Herrich-Schäffer, [1854], the type species of the genus Allocryptobia Viette, 1951, this genus is redescribed. Images of the type specimens, male and female genitalia, a new generic diagnosis, and a distribution map are given. Lectotypes of Cryptobia musae Herrich-Schäffer, [1854] and Cossus mucoreus Herrich-Schäffer, [1853] are designated. Allocryptobia musae is recorded for the fauna of Honduras, Panama and Colombia for the first time.
