The Neotropical geometrine genus Oospila Warren, 1897 includes seventy-nine species and was revised by Cook & Scoble (1995). The genus is distinctive in having a row of raised abdominal crests, which are composed of specialized, erect, metallic shining scales. This paper focuses on the integrative morphological and molecular delimitation of the smallest Oospila species. The wing patterns and genitalia structures of males and females are illustrated. Cook & Scoble (1995) distinguished 13 species groups within Oospila. We discuss the species of the Oospila flavilimes species group, the O. stigma species group and O. miccularia species group below, and separate the O. arpata species complex into a group of its own. Nine new species and two new subspecies are described in this paper: O. cristae sp. n. from Ecuador, O. falcata sp. n. from French Guiana, O. pallidaria boliviensis subsp. n. from Bolivia, and O. loreenae sp. n. from Bolivia (flavilimes species group), O. ehakernae sp. n. from Costa Rica, O. similiplaga bolarpata subsp. n. from Bolivia (arpata species group), O. brehmi sp. n. and O. bifida sp. n. both from Bolivia, O. moseri sp. n. from Brazil, O. absaloni sp. n. and O. pipa sp. n. both from Ecuador (miccularia species group). Oospila similiplaga (Warren) (stat. nov.) is raised here from synonymy with O. arpata (Schaus) and O. imula (Dognin) from synonymy with O. miccularia (Guenée), respectively. Oospila agnetaforslundae nom. nov. is proposed as a replacement name for Oospila marginata Schaus, 1912 (nec Oospila marginata Warren, 1897), raising it to species rank from synonymy of Oospila permagna (Warren, 1909). With this paper, the number of Neotropical Oospila species is raised to 88.

The weevil genus Peridinetus Schönherr is reviewed for mainland Middle America. Conophoria Casey is included in Peridinetus as a new junior synonym. Twenty-six species are recognized. Peridinetus ecuadoricus Casey stat. res., P. frontalis Chevrolat and P. pictus Kirsch are newly recorded for the study area. Newly described are P. illabes sp. n. (Panama), P. imperialis sp. n. (Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador), P. lugubris sp. n. (Costa Rica, Ecuador), P. notabilis sp. n. (Costa Rica), P. odone sp. n. (Costa Rica, Panama), P. pena sp. n. (Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama), P. rubens sp. n. (Costa Rica, Panama) and P. wyandoti sp. n. (Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Ecuador). The overlooked precedence of P. jelskii Chevrolat over P. maculiventris Chevrolat is reestablished. Conophoria cana dispersa Casey is a new junior synonym of P. canus Champion. Habitus images for most species and an identification key are provided.

The genus Fungiseius gen. nov. is described, based on adults of two newly described species. These rather short-legged mites, with their second pair of legs markedly thickened, have been collected only from bracket fungi. The more generalized form, F. clavulisetis gen. et sp. nov., is based on female specimens from Chiapas Province, southern Mexico. The more derivative form, F. armatus gen. et sp. nov., is based on females and males from several samples of bracket fungi in lowland tropical rainforest of Costa Rica, where they coexist with a remarkable variety of other blattisociine mites. Notable morphological attributes peculiar to adults of this genus include the dorsal shield having a delineated lateral rim that bears a row of setae of the lateral or marginal series, legs II greatly thickened, with enlarged, claw-like setae on the dorsolateral face of the tarsus, and deep furrows postgenitally on females and postanally on males and females. Comparisons are made with fungus-inhabiting mites of the genus Hoploseius, whose adults also have the second pair of legs thickened. A revised key to the world genera and subgenera of the subfamily Blattisociinae is presented; the genus Orthadenella Athias-Henriot is excluded, and placed in the ascoid family Melicharidae. The subgenera Borinquolaelaps Fox, Crinidens Karg, and Cuspiacus Christian & Karg, sensu Christian & Karg 2006 are treated as new synonyms of the subgenus Lasioseius Berlese.
