The Neotropical species of the genus Lithocharodes were studied. A total of 26 new species were found. These are: L. aculeata spec. nov., L. ashei spec. nov., L. bierigi spec. nov., L. bicornis spec. nov., L. boliviana spec. nov., L. brooksi spec. nov., L. compacta spec. nov., L. curtipennis spec. nov., L. denticulata spec. nov., L. dubiosa spec. nov., L. ecuadoriensis spec. nov., L. elongata spec. nov., L. hanagarthi spec. nov., L. karinae spec. nov., L. katharinae spec. nov., L. lescheni spec. nov., L. nigerrima spec. nov., L. nigrita spec. nov., L. obscura spec. nov., L. pampana spec. nov., L. peruana spec. nov., L. silvicola spec. nov., L. somoleptoides spec. nov., L. surinamensis spec. nov., L. triangula spec. nov., and L. verhaaghi spec. nov. The following species described under Lithocharodes were transferred to the genus Somoleptus Sharp, 1885: S. cavicola (Blackwelder, 1943) (comb. nov.) and S. strigulata (Blackwelder 1943) (comb. nov.). The following four species described under the genus Somoleptus were transferred to Lithocharodes: L. bicolor (Sharp, 1885) (new combination) and S. gracilis Sharp, 1885 (new synonymy), which is conspecific with L. bicolor; L. clavicornis (Erichson, 1839) described as Leptacinus clavicornis and transferred to Somoleptus by Sharp (1885) (new combination); L. elegans (Sharp, 1885) (new combination); L. gracilis, L. rambouseki, L. cameroni (new synonymies) are conspecific with L. fusciventris Sharp, 1885. New records from the West Indies and Central America were given for L. floridanus (LeConte, 1880) and L. nigripennis (LeConte, 1863). Lectotypes were designated for L. fusciventris, L. gracilis, L. fuscula, and L. spinigera.
