Taxonomic notes.

The following key, based in part on the unpublished work of Hilchie and Ball (used with their permission), indicates a partial, rudimentary classi fication of the Western Hemisphere cymindidines, distinguishing adults of subgenus Pinacodera from those of subgenus Cymindis . Also proposed are the tentative species groups and subgroups of Pinacodera and the species complexes of the limbata species group, and their species.

Key to supraspecific taxa of subgenus Pinacodera , and to species of the Cymindis (Pinacodera) limbata group, based on characters of adults.
