039D87B4FFF84564A0B68484FA43FB27.taxon	discussion	The species Nerius purpusianus Enderlein, 1922 is likely a junior synonym of Nerius plurivittatus and was not included in the key. Odontoloxozus longicornis and O. pachycericola key out to the same couplet because there is no reliable diagnostic characters to separate the two species (Pfeiler et al. 2013).	en	Gomes, Lucas R.

039D87B4FFFA4560A0B685D1FE40F819.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This new species resembles C. enderleini in the length of the antenna (as the inner process of pedicel is elongate and finger-like) and body colour. This new species is easily differentiated from known species in having a longer head and antenna, in the shape of first flagellomere, and by the coloration of the femora. The record of Cerantichir enderleini from Chiapas presented by Chamé-Vázquez et al. (2022) corresponds to Cerantichir mexicana and we have updated that record here. Cerantichir mexicana seems to be restricted to the tropical highlands of southern Mexico, occurring above 2400 m, whereas C. enderleini was collected nearby but between 1705 and 2081 m above sea level.	en	Gomes, Lucas R.

039D87B4FFFE4561A0B681D8FDC6FC4F.taxon	discussion	Remarks. For a long time, Eoneria species were know exclusively from southern South America (Paraguay, Argentina (Jujuy, Chaco, Catamarca, Corrientes, La Rioja )). More recently, new specimens have been recorded from Venezuela and Brazil (Paraíba, Pernambuco, Bahia, Mato Grosso do Sul) (Sepúlveda et al. 2013; Braga et al. 2017; Sepúlveda & Souza 2019). Our record from Mexico is the northernmost record of the species, indicating that its distribution may not only be wide in South America, but also in Central America. In addition, the genus Eoneria is closely related to the unique Neriidae fossil genus described, found in the Mexican amber (Palaeonerius Sepúlveda & Gomes). This affinity is based mainly on the characters of the Eoneria - group, which include the presence of well-developed setae on head and thorax (e. g. occipital, discal scutellar, and anterior notopleural setae), a pruinose antennal base, and the lack of strong and short setae positioned at the marginal protuberance on syntergite 1 + 2 (Sepúlveda & Gomes 2021).	en	Gomes, Lucas R.
