Specimens examined: 188 including
holotypes
of
Canidia spinicornis
Bates
and
Pseudocanidia cuernavacae
Dillon
, and 3
paratypes
of the latter. Found in southcentral
Mexico
(Map 1).
Remarks: Among the
Canidia
species having a rounded apical process on the scape,
C. spinicornis
is easily recognizable by the parallelsided pronotum that is finely and densely punctate with the punctures being much smaller than those at the base of the elytra, the contrasting white and brown vittate pattern of the pronotum, and the mottled appendages. Although Dillon noted the existence of Bates’
spinicornis
, he misinterpreted the original description and did not include this species in his revision.
