Abstract

Six new Cymatodera species from the Mexican states of Jalisco and Chiapas, and the Central American countries of El Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica and Panamá are described: C. rosalinae sp. n., C. capax sp.n., C. sinuosa sp. n., C. vittata sp. n., C. rubida sp. n. and C. limatula sp. n. Justification for retaining C. obliquefasciata within Cymatodera instead of transferring it to Bogcia is provided. Male genitalia and other characters of taxonomic value are illustrated.
