Abstract

A new species ofGonatopusLjungh, 1810 is described from the USA, Florida:G.jackisp. n. Morphologically, the new species is similar toG.ashmeadiKieffer, 1905 andG.agropyrusFenton, 1921, but it is distinguished by the different shape of the mesoscutum (very slender inG.jacki; broader inG.ashmeadiandG.agropyrus). Published identification keys to the Nearctic species ofGonatopusare modified to include the new species.
