Abstract

Macrothix laticornis is redescribed and compared with populations from central North America (Mexico), and from south-east Asia (Vietnam). All three are closely related, but with sufficient morphological differences to establish a laticornis species-group. Two species new for science are described, viz. M. sierrafriatensis (Mexico) and M. vietnamensis (Vietnam).
