TYPE MATERIAL: Schizomus mexicanus : MEX-

ICO: San Luis Potos í: Municipio de Ciudad

Valles: Sótano de la Tinaja, 10 km NNE Ciudad Valles, 18.ii.1970, J.A.L. Cooke, holotype ♂, 1 ♂, 2 ♀ paratypes ( AMNH).

REMARKS: Multiple records of H. mexicanus , comb. nov., from the Sierra El Abra in San Luis Potosí, reported by Rowland and Reddell (1980), may be different species or the complex cave system within the mountain range may have enabled this species to disperse underground and colonize the entire range. More detailed analyses, including multiple populations from this mountain range, should be undertaken to assess whether H. mexicanus is one species or many.
