ABSTRACT. The type specimens of two Melichar’s issid species described from Nicaragua and Jamaica are studied and illustrated. A new genus, Crousta gen.n., is erected to accommodate Thionia carinata Melichar, 1906 and a new genus, Epomides gen.n., is erected to accommodate Thionia impressa Melichar, 1906 accordingly. The lectotype is designated for Th. carinata Mel. to stabilize the nomenclature in the studied group according to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature.
KEY WORDS: Issinae, Leopold Melichar, Neotropics, lectotype designation, new combination, new genus, systematics.
