Stilobezzia (Stilobezzia) hirta Borkent View in CoL

Stilobezzia pruinosa Wirth, 1952: 203 View in CoL . California. (male, female; figs.;). Preoccupied by Acanthohelea pruinosa Kieffer, 1917: 198 View in CoL .

Stilobezzia (Stilobezzia) pruinosa: Wirth 1953: 79 View in CoL (description male, female; fig. male genitalia; Florida records); Wirth 1965: 134 (in Nearctic catalog north of Mexico; Arizona, Virginia); Wilkening et al. 1985: 526 ( Florida records). Stilobezzia (Stilobezzia) hirta Borkent, in Borkent & Wirth, 1997: 111 View in CoL (new name for Stilobezzia pruinosa Wirth View in CoL ); Borkent & Grogan 2009: 22 (in Nearctic catalog north of Mexico; distribution); Borkent 2016: 141 (in online World catalog).

Discussion. This species is apparently widespread in the Nearctic region, however, it has only been recorded from Arizona, California ( type locality), Florida, New Mexico, Texas and Virginia ( Borkent & Grogan 2009). We provide the first record in the Neotropical region from the state of Veracruz, Mexico.

Material Examined. MEXICO, Veracruz, Municipio Actopan , Localidad Soyacuautla, LC-9, trampa CDC, en mangal, 20-mayo-2009, Entomological Brigade JSV, 1 male. New Mexico Record.
