Treatment

Eusterinx ( Eusterinx) americana nom. nov.

Eusterinx arcuata Dasch, 1992: 193–194 View in CoL .

Material examined. Mexico, Tamaulipas, 6 km E of Miquihuana , 23°34′44.4ʺN 99°42′49.68ʺW, 2230 m a.s.l., 24 Sept. 2016, A. Humala leg., 1 male ( ZISP) GoogleMaps .

Remarks. The name “ arcuatus ” provided by Dasch (1992) is preoccupied by the name of the fossil species Cremastus (?) arcuatus Cockerell, 1921, transferred to Eusterinx by Khalaim ( Antropov et al., 2014: 347). Thus, Eusterinx americana nom. nov. is a new replacement name for the junior homonym E. arcuata Dasch, 1992 .

As the males of this species are only tentatively associated with the females ( Dasch, 1992), the identification of the examined Mexican male specimen (identical to the American ones) is uncertain as well.

Distribution. Nearctic species: USA (Alberta, British Columbia, South Dakota) and, possibly, * Mexico ( Tamaulipas).
