Family Glossosomatidae Wallengren

The glossosomatid genus Culoptila Mosely (type species: Culoptila aluca Mosely ) is largely endemic to Central America, but also occurs in the United States ( Blahnik & Holzenthal 2006). In the Neotropics it is distributed in Mexico, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Honduras ( Blahnik & Holzenthal 2006, Flint et al. 1999). The genus is probably closely related to Campsiophora and Cariboptila , both endemic to the Greater Antilles.
