Mexican Acmaeodera Eschscholtz, 1829: A new species and checklist, with miscellaneous taxonomic and biological notes on other North American Buprestidae (Coleoptera) Author Davidson, J. M. text Zootaxa 2003 201 1 18 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.156682 86303a59-85ba-4ccf-bb09-8a5774d390e1 1175­5326 156682 Acmaeodera loei Manley A good series of this species, originally described from Honduras , was collected in the early morning hours on flowers of morning glory vines, Convolvulus sp. ( Convolvulaceae ), growing along the roadside, 18 Km E Tehuantepec, Oaxaca, Mexico , X­20­2001 . To my knowledge, this and the records below are the first for A. loei in Mexico . Since none of the specimens encountered were observed in flight, and given the cool temperature at the time the specimens were collected, this might indicate that specimens of A. loei spent the night at rest on their adult host flowers. Other records of A. loei from Mexico are: Chiapas, Mpo. Tximil, 20 km SSE Pugiltic, 372 m , 19­X­81 (CASC); Sumidero Nat. Park, 5­ XI­90 (WFBM); Guerrero, Acapulco, 150 m , 19­X­89 , on small pale blue flowers of Convolvulus sp. (RLWE); Jalisco, Est. Biol. Chamela, numerous specimens with various dates of collection (EBCC and RLWE); Oaxaca, 7­8 km E Tehuantepec, 24­X­76 , TAMU; Yucatán, 4 km S Santa Elena , 22­X­91 (RHTC) ( new country record ).
