Abstract
Examination of a limited number of specimens of Leptoconops occurring in America indicates that at least several undescribed species exist in North and Central America and the West Indies. Paucity of material, however, prevents any detailed study of the group for the regions mentioned. Two members of the genus have, through their biting tendencies, made themselves decidedly obnoxious in the sections where they occur.
