ABSTBACT Kennethia pomorskii, a new genus and species of subfamily Onychiurinae is described from North America. It has a unique suite of apomorphic morphological characters and is most closely related to Arneria Pomorski, 2000; DinochiurusPomorski & Steinmann, 2004; and ReducturusPomorski & Steinmann 2004. A key to genera of the tribe Hymenaphorurini is given.
