Klinckowstroemia victoriae Rosario & Hunter, 1988

This species we found associated with two individuals of Arrox agassizi Kaup collected in trunks of Quercus sp. It has been reported from Xicotepec de Juárez ( Puebla, México), Quetzaltenango Dept. y Puerta Parada in Guatemala. Klinckowstroemia victoriae presents sternal seta 4 short sternal seta 3 of medium length, one pair of setae a and sternal seta 1 is serrate latigynal shields united mesally with a wavy border ( Figure 4B View Figure 4 ) ( Villegas-Guzmán et al., 2011). K. victoriae is also the most common klinckwostroemiid species in some areas of the city and is associated to several passalid hosts ( Table 2) (obs. pers.)

Several new localities and hosts were found for Similantennurella , Antennurella , Klinckowstroemiella . Five of the Similantennurella specimens examined ( Table 3) were collected in previously unreported localities, including Ecuador, Mexico, French Guyana and Guatemala. All were found on Passalus punctiger Lepeletier & Serville. Six of the Antennurella specimens examined ( Table 3) belong to 6 new localities: Bolivia, Belize, Ecuador, Venezuela, Trinidad and Guatemala. Two males were found on P. punctatostriatus and a female was found on Verres furcilabris , both previously unreported hosts ( Table 3). Four of the Klinckowstroemiella specimens ( Table 3) examined were from previously unreported localities: Bolivia, Peru, Honduras and Ecuador. Some specimens were collected from previously unreported hosts for the genus ( Table 4).
