Notes on the geographic distribution of Spastonyx nemognathoides Selander, 1954 (Coleoptera: Meloidae) in North America (Mexico and U.S.A.)

Despite many faunistic, taxonomic and phylogenetic works on the family Meloidae in North America (see Pinto 1983, 1984, 1991, 2009; Pinto & Bologna 1999; GarcíaParís et al. 2007; Bologna et al. 2008, Cline & Huether 2001, Marschalek & Young 2015), the Mexican fauna is still far from adequately known, even at basic levels (faunistic, bionomic, alfa-taxonomic). Geographic distributions are not properly known for most Mexican taxa, and new discoveries or wide range extensions have been recently published (García-París & Ruiz 2013, García-París et al. 2009, 2013a, b; Pinto 2009, 2010; López-Estrada & García-París 2014).This work was supported by project grants CGL2015-66571-P (MINECO/FEDER) to MGP, and by grants given by Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología (CONACyT, Mexico, proyecto CB 220454, Red temática del Código de Barras de la Vida No. 271108) and PAPIIT-UNAM (convocatoria 2016, proyecto no. IN207016) to AZR.Peer Reviewe
