	abstract = {Ganglionus, gen. nov.,is described for {\TH}ve species: G. mitigatus, sp. nov.,from Costa Rica; G. catenatus, sp. nov.,from Costa Rica and Panama; G. undulatus, sp. nov.,from Costa Rica and  Panama; G. constrictus, sp. nov.,from Ecuador; and G. spatulatus, sp. nov.,from Colombia. Ganglionus is placed in Derelomini and presents the following putative synapomorphies: male with (1) dorsally tumescent rostrum,(2) posteriorly setose sternum VIII,and (3) apically O-shaped tegmen. Ganglionus is associated with Carludovica Ru{\~o}{\textasciiacute}z \& Pavo{\textasciiacute}n (Cyclanthaceae). Observations on the biology of G. undulatus at La Selva,Costa Rica,indicate that the adults are pollinators. The females oviposit into the staminate {\ss}owers of the host in{\ss}orescences,and the larvae complete their development in the leaf litter.Acladistic analysis{\~N}using Notolomus basalis LeConte, Staminodeus vectoris Franz, and Perelleschus carludovicae (Gu{\textasciidieresis} nther) as outgroups - proposes the relationships (G. mitigatus, ((G. catenatus, G. undulatus),( G. constrictus, G. spatulatus))).},
