AbstractThe Mexican and Central American species of the Genus Isomira Mulsant (Coleoptera: Alleculidae) are revised. Ten species and four subspecies are treated, of which six species and all the subspecies are described as new. New species are: Isomira championi, I. howdeni, I. rotundata, I. mexicanus, I. acuta, and I. alticola. New subspecies are: Isomira howdeni hidalgoensis, I. subaenea soror, I. s. punctata, and I. s. guatemalensis. A key is presented for the determination of the taxa.

This paper revises the Mexican and Central American species of Heteromeles M. Roemer and Photinia Lindley (Rosaceae, subfamily Maloideae). One genus, Heteromeles, is monotypic, whereas in Photinia five species are recognised. Of the Photinia species, one, P. mexicana, is highly distinct and the remainder are closely related to, or part of, the P. microcarpa complex. A numerical taxonomic study has been conducted to assist in differentiating the last-named group of taxa. One new species, Photinia guerreris, and two new subspecies of Photinia microcarpa, sspp. elliptica and hintonii, are described. In Photinia microcarpa ssp. hintonii a new variety, var. brevis, is created. Key words: Heteromeles, Photinia, Rosaceae, taxonomy, Mexico, Central America.

Central American Species

The genus Agrilus participates in a number of mimicry complexes. At least 23 species in México and Central America areconsidered to belong to one of the complexes that putatively have flies as models. In this complex, characterized by thecolor pattern of red-blue/black-pale, 11 new species are described —Agrilus updikei, new species; Agrilus marthae, newspecies; Agrilus dipterioides, new species; Agrilus opitzi, new species; Agrilus exquisitus, new species; Agrilus zumba-doi, new species; Agrilus coloradoensis, new species; Agrilus frankparkeri, new species; Agrilus cavei, new species;Agrilus alajuelensis, new species; and Agrilus percaroides, new species. Two species groups are recognized, based onAgrilus basalis Chevrolat and A. percarus Kerremans. Previously described species are provided with a diagnosis or redescribed, and additional specimen records are given. All species are illustrated.

Central American Species

Three new species belonging to the tribe Nymphistrini of the obligate myrmeco- and termitophilous subfamily Haeteriinae (Coleoptera: Histeridae) are described from Central America: Nymphister rettenmeyeri sp. n. (Costa Rica and Panama), Trichoreninus carltoni sp. n. (Belize and Honduras) and T. neo sp. n. (Costa Rica and Panama).  Identification keys for the Central American species of both genera are prepared.  Available host records for N. rettenmeyeri confirm the symbiosis of the genus with Eciton army ants: the species has been found in colonies of E. burchelli (Westwood), E. hamatum (Fabricius) and E. mexicanum Roger.  Host records are not available for the new species of Trichoreninus as all known specimens were collected by flight intercept traps.

Central American Species

A revision of the Central American species of the genus Brachiacantha was undertaken to update the knowledge of the Central American species of the genus. Material of several collections was reviewed, using original descriptions and keys, and comparing with the type material. Twenty-five species of the genus Brachiacantha were found in Central American material, including nine new species: B. nubes Nestor-Arriola, Toledo-Hernández and Solís, sp. nov., B. dentata Nestor-Arriola, Toledo-Hernández and Solís, sp. nov., B. isthmena Nestor-Arriola, Toledo-Hernández and Solís, sp. nov., B. aurantiapleura Nestor-Arriola, Solís and Toledo-Hernández, sp. nov., B. invertita Nestor-Arriola, Toledo-Hernández and Solís, sp. nov., B. papiliona Nestor-Arriola, Toledo-Hernández and Solís, sp. nov., B. tica Nestor-Arriola, Toledo-Hernández and Solís, sp. nov., B. hexaspina González, Větrovec and Nestor-Arriola, sp. nov., and B. mimica Nestor-Arriola and Toledo-Hernández, sp. nov. Nomenclatural changes include Brachiacantha gorhami (Weise), comb. nov., B. guatemalensis (Gorham), comb. nov., and Brachiacantha duodecimguttata Leng, syn. nov. for B. lepida Mulsant. The male genitalia of the species B. fenestrata Gorhan, B. octostigma Mulsant, B. aperta Weise, and B. cachensis Gorhan are described and illustrated for the first time. New records include B. indubitabilis Crotch and B. bipartita Mulsant (Costa Rica and Guatemala), B. gorhami (Weise) (El Salvador), and B. cachensis Gorham (Panamá). A key to the species is included.
