Material. One female: “ México: Distrito Federal, Delegación Milpa Alta, límite sur con Morelos. 3300 m. Bosque de pino. En hongo sobre tronco. 15­IX­1998. J. Márquez col./ Oxyporus lawrencei Campbell, 1974 , J. Márquez det. 2003” (CC­UAEH).

Discussion. This species was described based on two males from “Eslava, Mexico ”, a locality that could not be found in atlases and gazetteers (Selander & Vaurie 1962; Campbell 1974). However, this locality is specified in the “Biologia Centrali­Americana” as being in the Distrito Federal, at an elevation of 8000 feet (Selander & Vaurie 1962). The newly discovered female specimen confirms that O. lawrencei does indeed occur in Distrito Federal. This species has also been recorded from Jalisco, Mexico, Michoacan and Morelos ( Navarrete­Heredia et al. 2002). Females of O. lawrencei have not been described previously ( Campbell 1974). Although our female specimen generally agrees with the original description (based on males: Campbell 1974), we did observe some differences which are summarized in Table 1 View TABLE 1 .
