Justicia micrantha (Oerst.) Graham (1988: 603) is a Central American species originally described by Oersted as Chaetothylopsis micrantha Oersterd (1855: 163). However, it is illegitimate name under Art. 53.1 of the ICN (McNeill et al., 2012) because an earlier homonym Justicia micrantha Wall. ex Clarke (1885: 536) already exist for another Indian plant. Therefore, a new name, Justicia segoviaensis, is proposed here for the later homonym, J. micrantha (Oerst.) V.A.W. Graham.

Central American Species

The genus Agrilus participates in a number of mimicry complexes. At least 23 species in México and Central America areconsidered to belong to one of the complexes that putatively have flies as models. In this complex, characterized by thecolor pattern of red-blue/black-pale, 11 new species are described —Agrilus updikei, new species; Agrilus marthae, newspecies; Agrilus dipterioides, new species; Agrilus opitzi, new species; Agrilus exquisitus, new species; Agrilus zumba-doi, new species; Agrilus coloradoensis, new species; Agrilus frankparkeri, new species; Agrilus cavei, new species;Agrilus alajuelensis, new species; and Agrilus percaroides, new species. Two species groups are recognized, based onAgrilus basalis Chevrolat and A. percarus Kerremans. Previously described species are provided with a diagnosis or redescribed, and additional specimen records are given. All species are illustrated.

Central American Species

Three new species belonging to the tribe Nymphistrini of the obligate myrmeco- and termitophilous subfamily Haeteriinae (Coleoptera: Histeridae) are described from Central America: Nymphister rettenmeyeri sp. n. (Costa Rica and Panama), Trichoreninus carltoni sp. n. (Belize and Honduras) and T. neo sp. n. (Costa Rica and Panama).  Identification keys for the Central American species of both genera are prepared.  Available host records for N. rettenmeyeri confirm the symbiosis of the genus with Eciton army ants: the species has been found in colonies of E. burchelli (Westwood), E. hamatum (Fabricius) and E. mexicanum Roger.  Host records are not available for the new species of Trichoreninus as all known specimens were collected by flight intercept traps.

Central American Species

Twenty-four West Indian species of this genus were enumerated in Messrs. Leng and Mutchler’s list of 1914, in addition to which four species from Porto Rico have since been named by Mr. Eugene Smyth (Journ. Dept. Agric. Porto Rico, i, 1917). Two other species have been assigned to the genus Phytalus, which is distinguished from Lachnosterna solely by the claw-tooth making an acute instead of a wide angle with the tip. As H. W. Bates found in his attempt to distribute the Central American species, it is impossible to make this the basis of a natural division, especially as in certain species (as in L. dilemma here described) it is confined to the male.
