Eupogonius azteca Martins, Santos-Silva and Galileo, 2015

( Fig. 11 )

Eupogonius azteca Martins et al. 2015: 87 ; Monné et al. 2017: 66 (holotype); Monné 2019: 577 (cat.); Bezark 2019b: 285 (checklist).

This species was described based on a pair from Mexico (Veracruz and Chiapas). According to Monné (2019), the species remains known only by the types. Tavakilian and Chevillotte (2019) wrongly changed the species-group name to “ aztecus ”. However, according to the original description, the species group name is a “noun in the nominative singular in apposition to the generic name.” Accordingly, the correct spelling is “ azteca ”.

Material examined. MEXICO, Chiapas: 17 km W Tuxtla Gutiérrez (3,300’), 4 males, 5 females, 1–8. VII.1986, J.E. Wappes col. ( ACMT) ; 1 male, 27–30.VI.1986, J.E. Wappes col. ( ACMT) ; 3–5 km S La Trinitaria , 1 male, 19–20.X.1988, J.E. Wappes col. ( ACMT) .
