New records from the Morelos and Quere7taro states, and new faunistic data from the Chiapas, Oaxaca, San Luis PotosÍ 7and Veracruz states ( Figure 19 ). This species has a wide New World distribution and in Mexico it was previously known from the Campeche, Chiapas, Guadalajara, Oaxaca, Quintana Roo, San Luis PotosÍ 7, Tamaulipas, and Yucata7n states ( Galiano, 1962, 1980; Logunov 2014). Previously this was known as the most widely distributed Lyssomanes species in Mexico, and the Tamaulipas state is its northernmost locality. Some specimens were collected by beating low vegetation or by hand in the daytime and at night, in many different types of ecosystems, mainly in low and dry forests. This species has been found in sympatry with L. deinognathus , L. diversus , L. franckei sp. n. and L. reductus . Known altitudinal distribution: 13-1647 m. Together with L. mandibulatus this species has one of the widest ranges of altitudinal distribution of any Lyssomanes in Mexico.
