Abstract

Three hundred and sixty-seven species of Spilomelinae (Crambidae) present in Venezuela are cited. This diversity represents 25.90% of species and 67.47 % of the genera that are estimated to be present in the Neotropics, and 9.22% of the species and 35.44 % of the genera at a global level. We cite for the first time 22 genera and 116 species for the country. The taxonomic position of some species within genus Diaphania is clarified.
