Abstract

Recent field work has shown that the genus Xiphoscelis Burmeister 1842 contains at least three species. The type species is re-described, and two new species are described, based on adult morphology. The distribution of all three Xiphoscelis species is mapped, and a phylogeny is proposed for the genus. Ecological data are presented and discussed in the context of the previously-reported association of members of this genus with termites.
