Arce-Pérez, Roberto, Novelo-Gutiérrez, Rodolfo & Fery, Hans, 2021, Cybister (s. str.) poblanus sp. n. from Mexico and notes on other species of Cybistrinae (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae), Zootaxa 5061 (2), pp. 323-339 : 324-325

Cybister (s. str.) poblanus sp. n.

Type locality: Mexico, State of Puebla, environs of Puebla City (exact locality unknown) .

Notes: The precise type locality of the new species cannot be given. The holotype was discovered during a review of the insect collection of the IEXA. All we know is that it was collected in the year 2001 by students of the Biology Faculty during a collecting trip in the environs of the city of Puebla . Unfortunately, the exact collecting data were not noted—a well-known problem with unexperienced students. Thus, we can be only sure that the holotype was collected near Puebla City or at least in the State of Puebla.

Material studied: Holotype: ♂, “ México, alrededores / Ciudad de Puebla. / Recolecta 2001 / Colector desconocido” [printed], “Holotipo / Cybister poblanus / Arce-Pérez y Novelo-Gutiérrez det. / 2021” [red, printed] ( IEXA) (see Fig. 1c ). The holotype lacks three antennomeres of each antenna as well as the claws of the left fore-leg and of the left hind-leg.
