The biodiversity of northern South American and Central American Liogenys Guérin-Méneville, 1831 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Melolonthinae: Diplotaxini) is reviewed. Four new species are described: L. clipeosetosa Cherman, new species; L. genieri Smith Cherman, new species; L. granadina Cherman, new species; and L. schneiderae Cherman, new species. The male of L. quadridens (Fabricius, 1798) and the female of L. quadridentata Blanchard, 1851 are described for the first time. Liogenys gebieni Moser, 1921 is a new junior subjective synonym of L. macropelma Bates, 1887. The northernmost record of Liogenys is emended to Trinidad and Tobago for L. granadina Cherman, new species and L. schneiderae new species. Diplotaxis puberea cuprascens (Bates, 1887) new combination, Diplotaxis puberea puberea (Bates, 1887) new combination, and Diplotaxis pubisternis (Bates, 1887) new combination are all transferred from Liogenys to Diplotaxis Kirby, 1837. Lectotypes are designated for Liogenys gebieni Moser, 1921; Melolontha quadridens Fabricius, 1798; and Liogenys quadridentatus Blanchard, 1851. An identification key to northern South American Liogenys is presented.
对1831年利奥热尼属（Liogenys Guérin-Méneville）（鞘翅目：金龟科：鳃金龟亚科：双斑鳃金龟族）在南美洲北部和中美洲的生物多样性进行了综述。描述了四个新物种：唇刚毛利奥热尼（Liogenys clipeosetosa Cherman），新物种；热尼利奥热尼（Liogenys genieri Smith Cherman），新物种；格拉纳达利奥热尼（Liogenys granadina Cherman），新物种；以及施奈德利奥热尼（Liogenys schneiderae Cherman），新物种。首次描述了四齿利奥热尼（Liogenys quadridens）（法布尔，1798年）的雄性和四齿利奥热尼（Liogenys quadridentata）（布兰查德，1851年）的雌性。1921年的盖比尼利奥热尼（Liogenys gebieni Moser）是1887年的大盾利奥热尼（Liogenys macropelma Bates）的新次主观同物异名。利奥热尼属的最北记录因新物种格拉纳达利奥热尼（Liogenys granadina Cherman）和新物种施奈德利奥热尼（Liogenys schneiderae）而修订为特立尼达和多巴哥。铜色柔毛双斑鳃金龟（Diplotaxis puberea cuprascens）（贝茨，1887年）新组合、柔毛双斑鳃金龟（Diplotaxis puberea puberea）（贝茨，1887年）新组合和耻骨双斑鳃金龟（Diplotaxis pubisternis）（贝茨，1887年）新组合均从利奥热尼属转移到1837年的双斑鳃金龟属（Diplotaxis Kirby）。为1921年的盖比尼利奥热尼（Liogenys gebieni Moser）、1798年的四齿鳃金龟（Melolontha quadridens Fabricius）和1851年的四齿利奥热尼（Liogenys quadridentatus Blanchard）指定了选模。给出了南美洲北部利奥热尼属的鉴定检索表。
