Parascatopse wirthi
Cook (1955: 363)
is known from Florida,
USA
. In the original description of this species, the author refered to the figure of the male terminalia (
Cook, 1955: 361, Plate IV-A
). Specimens from Yucatan have some characteristics which are similar to those of
P. w i r t h i
Cook; nevertheless, there are some differences in the male terminalia, principally the shape of aedeagus and gonocoxite (
Fig. 11
) It is necessary to examine the
type
material of
P. w i r t h i
Cook, to determine if the Yucatan specimens are conespecific or a different new species.
