Lochmaeocles salvadorensis (Franz, 1954) , new combination

Discussion. The monotypic genus Ischiomaeocles Franz, 1954 , was created for Ischiomaeocles salvadorensis Franz, 1954 ( Fig. 9 View Figure 9 a-d) which was described from a single female specimen collected in El Salvador. Examination of the holotype (deposited at the SMFD) revealed that there are no characters to distinguish it from female specimens of the genus Lochmaeocles . Ischiomaeocles salvadorensis is here transferred to Lochmaeocles , creating the new combination Lochmaeocles salvadorensis (Franz, 1954) , and Ischiomaeocles Franz becomes a new synonym of Lochmaeocoles Bates. Although Lochmaeocles is not currently recorded from El Salvador, it is widely distributed in North, Central, and South America, including the two countries bordering El Salvador ( Guatemala, Honduras).
