Bactrodes spinulosus Stål, 1862

This species is clearly identified by its “spinous” body, which shows numerous tubercles and strong setation (Coscarón & Melo 2003). This species have been recorded from Mexico, Guatemala, Panama, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, and Colombia (Champion 1898; Maldonado 1990; Coscarón & Melo 2003). The specimens listed below are new locality records from Colombia. In addition, several new localities from Mexico and a new locality from Guatemala are given. It is noteworthy to mention as well the most northern locality for this Neotropical species, “Big Bend National Park” in Texas (USA), adjacent to the state of Chihuahua in Mexico.
