Abstract

The single known species of the genus Lepilius Champion in the United States is formally described and named. Lepilius chisosensis Anderson, new species, is known from leaf litter samples taken in Pine Canyon, Big Bend National Park, Brewster County, Texas. Lepilius chisosensis is distinguished from the only other described species in the genus, Lepilius pulchellus Champion, by the pattern of surface vestiture, robust tibia, and form of male genitalia. Numerous undescribed species of Lepilius are known from Mexico south into Honduras.
