Remarks. Oncideres paurosoma Noguera, 1993 was described from four specimens (one male, three females) from Guerrero and Oaxaca, Mexico. Taricanus minor Bates, 1885 was described from a series of specimens collected in Jalapa ( Veracruz), Mexico. Dillon and Dillon (1945) later proposed the genus Microcanus for this latter species. Examination of the female lectotype specimen of M. minor (BMNH) and a female paratype specimen (ACMT) of O. paurosoma revealed no characters to separate the two species ( Fig. 2 View Figure 2 a–d). Based on the absence of morphological features to separate the two species and similar distribution, Oncideres paurosoma Noguera, 1993 is synonymized with Microcanus minor ( Bates, 1885) .
