Abstract

Agaporomorphus dodgei sp. nov. is described from ultraviolet light trap collections from various counties of Florida. The genus has been recorded previously from South and Central America. The absence of males in the collections, which is also characteristic of some other species of the genus, suggests that parthenogenesis may be involved.
