Mexico . Moss on tree, coll. Miguel Angel Gonzalez Botello, 1 February 2014 . Five specimens from Las Crucitas ( 24°30′46.62′′N , 99°59′03.91′′W , ca. 2499 m asl ), Aramberri, Nuevo Leon . Mexico . Lichen on tree, coll. Miguel Angel Gonzalez Botello , 3 May 2014 . Comments: Our specimens correspond well with the original description ( Meyer & Domingue 2011 ), but we did not find the eggs in our material and therefore the final identification is not possible. Meyer & Domingue (2011) described Mac. acadianus from Louisiana , USA , and the species has been reported from Louisiana and Texas , U.S.A. (Meyer 2013; Hinton et al . 2014 ; Kaczmarek et al . 2014 ; Meyer et al. 2014 ). Further samples with eggs are required to confirm whether this is a new species or new record for Mexico .
