Abstract

Five new species of Campyloneurum are described: C. castaneum, C. filiforme, C. jamaicense, C. parvisquama, and C. pichinchae. Each is illustrated and compared to similar species. Distribution maps are given for each. This brings the number of generally accepted species in the genus to about 65.
