Genus Rhynchanthrax Painter

Remarks.

Of the seven species of this exclusively Nearctic genus, six are present in Mexico, with Rhynchanthrax maria (Williston, 1901) and Rhynchanthrax nigrofimbriatus (Williston, 1901) being endemic to this country. Only Rhynchanthrax parvicornis (Loew, 1869) has not been collected in Mexico, but it is distributed across the southern USA and may also occur in the north of Mexico.
