Wappes, James E. & Santos-Silva, Antonio, 2020, Nomenclatural notes on some currently known species of Eupogonius LeConte, 1852 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae) and description of seven new species, Insecta Mundi 748, pp. 1-30 : 5

Eupogonius affinis Breuning, 1942

( Fig. 20 )

Eupogonius affinis Breuning 1942: 161 ; 1963: 504 (cat.); 1974: 12; Chemsak et al. 1992: 119; (checklist); Monné and Giesbert 1994: 220 (checklist); Monné 1994: 28 (cat.); Noguera and Chemsak, 1996: 405 (checklist); Turnbow et al. 2003: 26 (distr.); Monné 2005: 408 (cat.); Monné and Hovore 2006: 247 (checklist); Hovore 2006: 376 (distr.); Monné 2019: 577 (cat.); Bezark 2019b: 285 (checklist).

This species was described based on a single specimen from Guatemala. Later, Breuning (1963) wrongly reported the species from Mexico, but Breuning (1974) listed it only from Guatemala. We think that the reports from Mexico by Chemsak et al. (1992), Monné and Giesbert (1994), and Noguera and Chemsak (1996) are mistakes following Breuning (1974). We did not examine specimens of this species.
