The present work provides a revised diagnosis of the genus
Leogorrus
Stål and its species, digital figures of habitus, and illustrations of the male and female genitalia, as well as a key to the species. Two synonymies are established:
L. incommodus

L. ochropus
(Stål), and
L. insculptus

L. minusculus
(Walker). Lectotype specimens are designated for all valid species. The fifth instars of
L. litura
(Fabricius) is described and illustrated. Considerable new distributional information is recorded:
L. fasciatus
from Costa Rica;
L. immaculatus
from Colombia, Guiana, Honduras, and Panama;
L. interruptus
from Bolivia, Costa Rica, and El Salvador;
L. litura
from Belize, Ecuador, El Salvador, Paraguay, Peru, and Surinam;
L. longiceps
from Belize and Honduras;
L. minusculus
from French Guiana; and
L. pallipes
from Argentina, Guiana, and Paraguay. Maps showing geographic distribution are given.
