Genus Trichoreninus Lewis, 1891

The current concept of the genus was established by Tishechkin (2007), who redescribed it, listed in it two Central and five South American species (two of which were retained formally, since they do not correspond to the generic diagnosis; however, their formal reassignment has not been performed yet) and included it in the key of the genera of Nymphistrini. At least ten undescribed species are known (Tishechkin, unpublished data), two of which are here described. The distribution of two described Central American Trichoreninus species has been summarized in Tishechkin (2007).
