[email protected] Abstract. — The subfamily Allantinae of the Tenthredinidae is reviewed for the New World south of the United States. Six genera and 40 species are included. Acidiophora Konow includes 7 species in South America; Empria Lepeletier and Serville, 2 species in Mexico; Ametastegia A. Costa, 5 species from Mexico to Costa Rica and an introduced species in Chile and Argentina; Antholcus Konow, 1 species in Chile and Argentina; Macremphytus MacGillivray, 1 species in Mexico; and Probleta Konow, 24 species from southern Mexico to southern Brazil. New species are Ametastegia hatisotti (Costa Rica), Probleta corana (Santa Catarina, Brazil), P. decorata (Costa Rica), P. gros-soensis (Mato Grosso, Brazil; Colombia), P. malaisei (Santa Catarina and Parana, Brazil), P. ma-zona (Amazonas, Brazil), P. nicklei (Peru), P. shannoni (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), and P. siceva (Peru). Protoprobleta Malaise is a new synonym of Probleta Konow. Keys and descriptions are given for the genera and species.
