A taxonomic treatment of the latiuscula species subgroup of subgenus Pinacodera Schaum, genus Cymindis Latreille with a key to species. Twelve species and two subspecies are treated, eleven (ten species, one subspecies) are described as new. One species, C. punctifera (LeConte), is re-ranked as a subspecies of C. punctifera (sensu lato). Listed alphabetically are the species and subspecies: Cymindis apache, new species (Ramsey Canyon, Cochise County, Huachuca Mountains, Arizona, U.S.A.); C. crenatoverpa, new species (Volcán Ceboruco, Nayarit, México); Cymindis cuyuteca new species(Cuautla, Jalisco, México); C. geminata, new species (Cuernavaca, state of Morelos, México); C. huichilobos, new species (km 117, Oaxaca-Puerto Angel road, state of Oaxaca, México); C. latiuscula (Chaudoir) (Dzibilchaltun Archaeological Zone, ca. 16 km north of Mérida, Yucatán, México); C. punctifera punctifera LeConte, new rank (Madera Canyon, Santa Rita Mountains, Pima County, Arizona,U.S.A.); C. punctifera toltec, new subspecies (Mazatlán, Sinaloa, México); C. rugofrons, new species (19.5 km NW Los Volcánes, Jalisco, México); C. tonatiuh, new species (15 km SE Nochixtlán, Oaxaca, México); C. yaqui, new species (Cave Creek Canyon, S.Fork, Chiricahua Mts., Arizona, U.S.A.); C. zacapa new species (12-14 km S. San Lorenzo, Departamento Zacapa, Guatemala); and C. zapotec new species (San Gabriel Mixtepec, Oaxaca, México). Cymindis punctifera (LeConte 1884), a junior synonym of C. cribrata (Chaudoir 1875), is the valid species name because the latter is a junior secondary homonym of Cymindis cribrata LeConte 1859 (= C. pilosa Say 1823). Ecologically, the species of the latiuscula subgroup are geophile or arboreal mesophiles, occupying tropical wet and dry, oak- pine[lowland to montane], and cloud forests, to scrubby desert vegetation, their resting places are under bark or bromeliads.These beetles are active in year-round, principally March to September. They may be found from sea level to 3060 m, with most foundbelow 1800 m.References
