Exotic-looking Neotropical Tischeriidae (Lepidoptera) and their host plants.

Seven new species of Tischeriidae are described from the Neotropics: Diškus & Stonis, (feeding on (Cav.) C. Presl., Malvaceae), Diškus & Stonis, (feeding on (Lam.) Baill., Asteraceae), Diškus & Stonis, (host plant unknown), Diškus & Stonis, (feeding on Kunth, Asteraceae), Diškus & Stonis, (feeding on Benth., Asteraceae), Diškus & Stonis, (feeding on (A. St.-Hil., A. Juss. & Cambess.) Hieron. ex Niederl., Sapindaceae), and Diškus & Stonis, (host plant unknown). Additionally, an updated distribution map of (Diškus & Stonis, 2015), which currently has the broadest distribution range among the Neotropical Tischeriidae is provided along with new host-plant data, a list of all recorded host plants in the Neotropics, and a brief discussion on trophic relationships of Tischeriidae. It is hypothesized that host-plant distribution ranges can provide clues to potential distribution ranges of these specialized, monophagous or oligophagous, leaf miners. All new taxa are illustrated with photographs of the adults, their genitalia, and, if available, leaf mines.
