Remarks: Thirty-nine species of Baeocera are distributed in North America ( Newton et al., 2001), one of them ( B. discolor Casey, 1900 ) remains doubtful. Among these species, the following 12 have been described or reported from Arizona ( Löbl & Stephan, 1993): B. cerbera ( Cornell, 1967) , B. congener Casey, 1893 , B. elongata Löbl & Stephan, 1993 , B. eurydice ( Cornell, 1967) , B. flagellata ( Löbl, 1976) , B. hesperia Löbl & Stephan, 1993 , B. humeralis Fall, 1910 , B. impunctata Löbl & Stephan, 1993 , B. lenczyi Löbl & Stephan, 1993 , B. solida Löbl & Stephan, 1993 , B. sticta Löbl & Stephan, 1993 and B. valida ( Löbl, 1976) . The newly examined collection comprises ten species, with B. hamata Löbl & Stephan, 1993 and B. nana Casey, 1893 recorded here for the first time from Arizona, and three species described below as new to science.
