Gnopholeon zapotecus Stange, 1970: 150 View in CoL [Holotype male, 23 miles South Matías Romero, Oaxaca, Mexico (UCDC)]. – Penny, 1977: 45 [distribution]. – Oswald et al., 2002: 581 [distribution]. – Stange, 2004: 250 [taxonomy, types, distribution].
Distribution. Mexico (MOR, OAX, VC).
Diagnosis. Adults. General coloration dark; ocular rim with short setae projecting over the eye; labial palpi with distal palpomere greatly swollen; procoxae and profemur with clavate white setae, slightly rowed; male ectoproct with a very short postventral lobe; gonarcus narrow, slightly twisted on lateral margins; paramere plates sclerotized ventrally; paramere teeth basally not expanded, slender, elongated, slightly curved and pointing posterodorsally; female ectoproct with large digging setae; lateral gonapophysis with large digging setae; posterior gonapophysis swollen, with many long hairlike setae; anterior gonapophysis short, convex, with many long hairlike setae; pregenital plate membranous.
Remarks. This species is very similar toG. barberi . A key difference is present in the profemur clavate setae density, which is noticeably lower, with setae not as clustered in G.zapotecus . Also, G.zapotecus is restricted to southern Mexico, while G.barberi occurs on northwestern Mexico and southwestern United States.This is the first record of the species from the state of Veracruz. Although this species does not occur in Baja California, we included it here for comparison with the other species ofGnopholeon.
