Abstract:

The menoponid genus Kaysuis Price and Clayton, originally described as monotypic for K. emersoni Price and Clayton, is redefined and expanded to include two species previously placed in Machaerilaemus Harrison: Menopon tityrus Carriker and Machaerilaemus cotingae Carriker, both new combinations. Character states and illustrations are provided for the separation of these three species.
