description: The Leskiini (Diptera : Tachinidae, Tachininae) is a cosmopolitan tribe found in all geographic regions. It comprises 49 genera throughout the world, 18 of them occurring in the neotropics: Beskioleskia Townsend, Galapagosia Curran, Genea Rondani, Geneodes Townsend, leskia Robineau-Desvoidy, Metamyobia Townsend, Mintholeskia Townsend, Parthenoleskia Townsend, Proleskiomima Townsend, Spathipalpus Rondani, Stomatodexia Brauer & Bergenstamm, Tapajoleskia Townsend, Tipuloleskia Townsend, Trichopyrrhosia Townsend, Trochiloglossa Townsend, Trochiloleskia Townsend, Uruleskia Townsend and Urumyobia Townsend. National and foreign collections were studied and type-material of almost all genera were examined. This revision of the neotropical Leskiini the taxonomic changes proposed resulted in 1O valid genera to this region: Genea Rondani; Leskia Robineau-Desvoidy; Proleskiomima Townsend; Spathipalpus Rondani; Stomatoderia Brauer & Bergenstamm; Tipuloleskia Townsend; Uruleskia Townsend; Eumyobia Townsend and Sipholeskia Townsend, (both included in Leskia Robineau-Desvoidy synonymy had their status revalidated) and Murya gen.nov. . The other genera received the following treatment: Beskioleskia, Mintholeskia and Trichopyrrhosia were transferred to Dexiinae subfamily based on their characteristic hinged distiphallus, the second one (Mintholeskia) being a misindentification of Neosolieria Townsend. Trochiloleskia was included in the synonymy of Eumyobia and Trochiloglossa in the synonymy of Sipholeskia. Three monotypic genera: Parthenoleskia, Tapajoleskia and Urumyobia Townsend were synonymized with Leskia, while Galapagosia, Geneodes and Metamyobia were synonymized with Stomatodexia. Besides the taxonomic changes this paper revises Eumyobia; Sipholeskia and Uruleskia, with the redescription of their species, including the type-species; description of four new species of Uruleskia from the north of Brazil: U. alba spec. nov., U. extremipilosa spec. nov., U. infima spec. nov. and U…
