Resumen

A new monotypic genus Argosadaliagen. nov. and new species A. priscillasp. nov. are described from the forests of Bolivia, Ecuador, and Peru. The new taxon is placed in the tribe Coccinellini in a group informally designated as the “Neda-group,” and comprising the genera Neda Mulsant; Mononeda Crotch; Neoharmonia Crotch and Argosadalia. Key morphological and anatomical characters of the new taxa are described and illustrated and the character states that define the Neda-group are reviewed.
