Abstract

Kalobittacus masoni, new species, and K. similis, new species, are described from tropical Veracruz, Mexico. Kalobittacus similis is compared with K. bimaculatus Esben-Petersen, the only Mexican species of Kalobittacus heretofore known. Males of all three species and females of the two new species are illustrated, and the species are differentiated in a key.

Résumé

On trouvera ici la description de deux nouvelles espèces, Kalobittacus masoni et K. similis, de Veracruz, dans la zone tropicale du Mexique. Kalobittacus similis est comparée à K. bimaculatus Esben-Petersen, la seule autre espèce mexicaine de Kalobittacus connue à ce jour. Les mâles des trois espèces et les femelles des deux nouvelles espèces sont illustrés et une clé d’identification permettra de les distinguer.
