Abstract

Based on the morphological study of specimens housed at the Colección Nacional de Insectos (CNIN), five new species from Jalisco, Durango, and Baja California belonging to the genera Cratomorphus Motschulsky, Tenaspis LeConte, and Microphotus LeConte are described and illustrated. The new species are Cratomorphus limai sp. nov., Tenaspis chamelensis sp. nov., Microphotus curvophallus sp. nov., Microphotus robustophallus sp. nov., and Microphotus morronei sp. nov. In addition, a map of the distribution of the species for each genus is included.
