Resumo: 	Representatives of the family Tetragonicipitidae encountered in samples from marine and lagoonal localities on the Yucatecan continental shelf are described. &lt;i&gt;Ph. yucatanensis&lt;/i&gt; n. sp. is added to the &lt;i&gt;furciger&lt;/i&gt; species-group of the genus &lt;i&gt;Phyllopodopsyllus&lt;/i&gt;. Resulting from the discovery of four new species which, at first sight, show close resemblance with the species known in the genus &lt;i&gt;Diagoniceps&lt;/i&gt; Willey, a review of the genus is presented. Initially, the type-species of the genus &lt;i&gt;Diagoniceps, D. laevis&lt;/i&gt; Willey, is redescribed in detail based on material from the Bahamas and specimens reported previously from Bermuda, type-region. Three out of the six previously described &lt;i&gt;Diagoniceps&lt;/i&gt; species, i.e. &lt;i&gt;D. bocki&lt;/i&gt; Lang, &lt;i&gt;D.menaiensis&lt;/i&gt; Geddes, and &lt;i&gt;Diagoniceps&lt;/i&gt; spec. Bodin are re-examined and redescribed. After comparison and discussion of the taxonomically important characteristics the following conclusions are presented: (1) &lt;i&gt;Diagoniceps laevis&lt;/i&gt; Willey and &lt;i&gt;D. mexicana&lt;/i&gt; n. sp., are retained in the genus; (2) &lt;i&gt;D. bocki&lt;/i&gt; Lang, &lt;i&gt;D. kunzi&lt;/i&gt; Marinov, and &lt;i&gt;Diagoniceps&lt;/i&gt; spec., the latter considered here as a distinct species, named &lt;i&gt;A. bodini&lt;/i&gt; n. sp., are assigned to the genus &lt;i&gt;Aigondiceps&lt;/i&gt; n. gen., with &lt;i&gt;D. bocki&lt;/i&gt; designated as type-species; (3) &lt;i&gt;D. menaiensis&lt;/i&gt; Geddes and &lt;i&gt;D. trifidus&lt;/i&gt; Yeatman are assigned to the genus &lt;i&gt;Nidiagoceps&lt;/i&gt; n. gen., with the former designated as type-species; (4) &lt;i&gt;Diagoniceps monodi&lt;/i&gt; Chappuis &amp; Kunz is considered as &lt;i&gt;species inquirenda&lt;/i&gt;; (5) the specimens reported from Bermuda by Coull and identified as &lt;i&gt;D. laevis&lt;/i&gt;, represent an unknown species, &lt;i&gt;O. elegantissima&lt;/i&gt; n. sp. which with &lt;i&gt;O. xamaneki&lt;/i&gt; n.sp. and &lt;i&gt;O. clarkae&lt;/i&gt; n. sp. constitutes the genus &lt;i&gt;Odaginiceps&lt;/i&gt; n. gen. (&lt;i&gt;O. clarkae&lt;/i&gt; n. sp. is proposed as type-species). In addition, the genus &lt;i&gt;Godianiceps&lt;/i&gt; n. gen. is erected for &lt;i&gt;G. maya&lt;/i&gt; n. sp. found in the famous Nichupté Lagoon near Cancun. Finally, an updated key to the currently recognised genera of the family Tetragonicipitidae is compiled.
