The genus Chromoteleia Ashmead is revised. Twenty-seven species are recognized, of which six species are redescribed: C. congoana (Risbec), C. connectens Kieffer, C. fuscicornis Kieffer, C. longitarsis Kieffer, C. semicyanea Ashmead, C. tricarinata Kieffer; and twenty-one species are described as new: C. aequalis Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. alternata Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. bidens Chen & Masner, sp. n., C. copiosa Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. cuneus Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. curta Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. depilis Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. dispar Chen & Masner, sp. n., C. feng Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. fossa Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. ingens Chen & Masner, sp. n., C. levitas Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. longa Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. maura Chen & Masner, sp. n., C. parvitas Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. pilus Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. plana Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. rara Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. robusta Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. semilutea Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. sparsa Chen & Johnson, sp. n. Chromoteleia rufithorax Kieffer remains a valid species, but its identity and status are unclear. All species are known only from the Neotropical region except for Chromoteleia congoana (Resbec) which only occurs in Africa.
