Abstract

Three species of Goja Navás collected in the mountain communities of Santa Catarina Lachatao, Ixtlán de Juárez and Santiago Comaltepec, are here described and illustrated. All of them are endemic to Sierra Juárez, Oaxaca. This report increases the number of species described in the genus to 33 and the number of species recorded in Mexico to 25. G. garcialdretei is similar to G. martinezi Casasola-González & García Aldrete, another species that also occurs in the same region. G. cuspidata and G. bicuspidata are similar species on account of their phallosome, but are quite distinct on wing venation
