Schmidarius kondratieffi was described based on a single female from Mexico (Mexico). We have examined two additional females, which allows us to establish new state records and point out some morphological variations. These specimens differ from the holotype (see photographs on Bezark 2022) by the antennomere III slightly slender, sinuous, and less densely setose (Figs. 35–36), and the mesoventral process has no distinct extension on each side near the apex (not projected on the mesocoxae) (Fig. 36). As the other morphological features perfectly agree with those of the holotype, we believe that they are intraspecific variations.
