of the Hungarian Natural History Museum (HNHM), Budapest, Hungary and one paratype each in the collection of USD A, Beltsville, USA, and in that of NHMN, Paris, France. RESULTS From the studied samples only four contained specimens of Carayonemidae. According to our results the Carayonemidae family is widely distributed in the Neotropical Region, and in the future most likely more species will be described from different parts of the region. In the samples from other parts of the World species of Carayonemidae were not found. As the remark of Richard (1986) shows, that the members of the family were found also in Peru, but only in larval stages, which could not be described, the generic and species identity is unclear. Three new species are described below. For further studies and completeness, the higher classification within the family is given. CARAYONEMIDAE Richard, 1986 Type genus: Carayonema Richard, 1986 The family is characterised by the presence of abdominal spiracles, and especially by the dorsally situated thoracic spiracles. CARAYONEMINAE Kozár, subfam. n. Type genus: Carayonema Richard, 1986 The subfamily differs from the other subfamilies by having heavily sclerotized second antennái segment, and trochanter. Carayonemini Kozár, trib. n. Type genus: Carayonema Richard, 1986 The tribe may be characterised by the presence of sclerotized plates (plaques hypocratériformes alvéolées sensu Richard 1986) on the dorsal segments. Comments — The only species known from this subfamily is C. orousseti Richard, 1986 from French Guyana. MAHUNKACOCCINAE Kozár, subfam. n. Type genus: Mahunkacoccus Kozár, gen. n. The subfamily differs from the other subfamilies by the unsclerotized second segment of the antennae and trochanter. Mahunkacoccini Kozár, trib. n. Type genus: Mahunkacoccus Kozár, gen. n. The tribe differs from the others by having broad fimbriate setae on the body. Mahunkacoccus Kozár, gen. n. Type species: Mahunkacoccus mexicoensis sp. n.
