Abstract

Two species of Androprosopa Mik are reported from Mexico, one of which is newly described (A. zempoalasp. nov.). This new species is related to a small group of western Nearctic species defined by a pair of posterolateral hook-like epandrial processes.

Résumé

Nous signalons l'existence de deux espèces d'Androprosopa Mik au Mexique, dont une nouvelle espèce (A. zempoalasp. nov.) que nous décrivons. Cette nouvelle espèce s’apparente à un petit groupe d'espèces de l'ouest néarctique qui se définit par la présence d'une paire de processus postéro-latéraux en forme de crochets sur l'épandrium.
