Two new species of Leptomorphus Curtis, L. guatemalensis sp. n. and L. juxtafurcatus sp. n., are described from Guatemala, figured, and compared with congeners. The new species belong to the clade including the \“furcatus\” and \“walkeri\” species-groups as defined by Borkent \& Wheeler (2012). L. guatemalensis sp. n. can be recognized by the gonocoxite bulbous and crescent-shaped with the apex asetose and spatula-like, but remains without a clear sister-species. Based on the structure of the male terminalia, particularly the presence of submedian, pointed lobes on sternite nine, L. juxtafurcatus sp. n. is suggested to be the sister-species to L. furcatus Borkent from the southwestern USA and northern Mexico; these species can be distinguished by the form of the gonocoxites.

The Nearctic species of Ditomyia Winnertz (Diptera: Ditomyiidae) are revised and four species are recognized: D. euzona Loew and D. potomaca Fisher from the eastern Nearctic and D. sohnsi n. sp. and D. elongata n. sp. from the western Nearctic. All species are figured and a key provided. Additionally, the first known Neotropical Ditomyia is described and the generic limits of Ditomyia discussed.

Setostylus xoxo spec. nov., is described and illustrated from Morelos, Mexico and southern Arizona, USA and is compared with similar Neotropical congeners. Additionally, the first records of Setostylus bellulus (Williston) are provided from Guatemala and Costa Rica and an updated key to the New World species of Setostylus is presented.

The Holarctic genus Rocetelion Matile is revised and three species are recognized; R. fenestrale (Fisher), R. fasciola (Coquillett), and R. humerale (Zetterstedt). Rocetelion fasciatum (Garrett) is proposed as a new junior synonym of R. fasciola. A new key, photographs of all species, and characters of the male and female terminalia are provided. The presence/absence of an antennal apicule was found to vary intraspecifically, thus making this character unreliable for distinguishing species in this genus.

Amerikeroplatus dimorphicus n. gen. et n. sp. is described from Guatemala and compared with the similar Keroplatini genera Pseudochetoneura \Šev{\v c}\ík and Asiokeroplatus \Šev{\v c}\ík. The new genus is distinctive because it lacks the typical fusion of M and R (radiomedial fusion, RS+M) which is found in all but a few species-poor, and apparently unrelated, genera of keroplatids. Also unusual is the absence of vein R2+3 and the strong sexual dimorphism in the thorax; males are dark brown and females bright orange.

Three new species of Phthinia Winnertz are described; P. amorimi n. sp. (Chile), P. oliveirae n. sp. (Chile), and P. nepal- ensis n. sp. (Nepal). Based on male terminalia, P. amorimi shows greater affinity to species previously described from Brazil whereas P. oliveirae is more similar to other Chilean species. Phthinia nepalensis is the first species of the genus described from the Oriental region. Distribution records for other Neotropical species are also given.
