PALABRAS CLAVE: Lepidoptera, Tortricidae, nuevos géneros, nuevas especies, Nueva Caledonia. Introduction The present paper is the second part of a taxonomic study of the Tortricidae of New Caledonia. In the first contribution (RAZOWSKI, 2013) the history of the study of the fauna, a list of the genera and their affinities, and distributional remarks on the New Caledonia species were provided. This paper 333 333-371 Leaf-rollers from New C 7/9/14 18:12 Página 334 J. RAZOWSKI follows the same format but a list of collecting localities is added. In first paper, data on the collecting localities were not detailed was based mostly on material collected by J. D. Holloway (deposited in The Natural History Museum, London) and characterized in his book (HOLLOWAY, 1979). Only a few of those localities appear in the present material studied. The material examined was collected during expeditions sponsored by the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, in 1984 and 1986. Collectors on those trips included R. L. Brown, M. Epstein, G. F. Hevel, O. Pellmyr, and M. Pogue. The material consists of 37 genera and 56 named species of which 2 genera and 31 species are newly described from New Caledonia. The genera not treated in part one The genera are arranged systematically; the number of known species are given in brackets. Tracholena Common, 1965. This genus previously was known from five Australian and two New Guinean species. DUGDALE (2005) described three from New Caledonia, and two additional species are recorded here from New Caledonia. Maoritenes Dugdale, 1966 was known from two New Zealand species. One species is here reported from New Caledonia. Peraglyphis Common, 1963 consists of 13 Australian and one Tasmanian species. In this paper one species from New Caledonia is described. Cryptoptila Meyrick, 1881. Three Australian and one New Guinean species were known. Two species are described here from New Caledonia. Apura Turner, 1916 was known from one Australian and one Samoan species; a third is described here. Lopharcha Diakonoff, 1941 is widely distributed in the Oriental region: Sri Lanka (4 species), India (4), Nepal (1) to Vietnam (1) Sumatra (1) and Java (6); and from the Australian region: New Guinea (1), New Zealand (1), and New Ireland (1). One species is Palaearctic (Japan: Kyusyu) and one new species is described from New Caledonia. Caenognosis Walsingham, 1900 was known from a single species from Christmas Island and Australia. One new species is described from New Caledonia. Cnecidophora Horak, 2006 was described for a single species from Queensland, Australia. A second is described in this paper from New Caledonia. Lobesia Guenée, 1845 is represented by numerous species in the Holarctic and Ethiopian regions, and is rare in the Neotropics. It is abundant in the Oriental region: Sri Lanka (2 species), Kashmir (1) to Thailand (3) and Java (7). In the Australian region Lobesia is recorded from New Guinea (4), Australia (7), New Zealand (1), Fiji (1), Marianas (2), Solomon Islands (1), and New Hebrides (2). One Australian species is reported from New Caledonia; another one remains unidentified. Helictophanes Meyrick, 1881 was proposed for one Indian species (from Assam) and includes one additional species. In the Australian region it is recorded from New South Wales and Queensland, Australia (4 species), and Micronesia (Guam, 1); two new species are described from New Caledonia in this paper. Fibuloides Kuznetzov, 1997 was proposed for one species fromVietnam; it also includes of several species distributed from Sri Lanka (2 species) to Vietnam (2), Philippine Islands (2), Sumatra (1), Java (2), and Australia (2). Two species are Palaearctic. Two new species are described here. Eccoptocera Walsingham, 1907. To this genus belong two Hawaiian and one Micronesian (from Guam) species. The only Australian species (from Queensland) is recorded here from New Caledonia. Eucosmophyes Diakonoff, 1982 was described for a single species from Sri Lanka; the second species is Australian, a third is now reported from New Caledonia. Leguminivora Obraztsov, 1960 is distributed on all continents except for the New World. One species occurs in Australia, and another is now discovered from New Caledonia. Notocydia Komai & Horak, 2006 consists of four Australian species. One new species is described here from New Caledonia. 334 SHILAP Revta. lepid., 42 (167), septiembre 2014 333-371 Leaf-rollers from New C 5/9/14 12:27 Página 335 LEAF-ROLLERS FROM NEW CALEDONIA, 2 Materials The material studied is deposited in the Smithsonian Institution, National Museum Natural History, Washington, DC.

Identification of the species Representatives of most genera were identified to species-level. Exceptions are some members of Aoupinieta , Xenothictis (because of external variation not correlated with the genitalia), Ancylis (lack of the comparative material), and Holocola (chiefly because of a lack of comparative material).
