            <p> Xacoxoxotlani Ferreira new genus urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 2E73260F-5144-41B8-82C3-2D2AE829EA0A </p>
            <p>Figs. 2-5.</p>
            <p> Type species.  Xacoxoxotlani chiapensis new species . </p>
            <p> Etymology.  Xacoxoxotlani , from the Nahuatl, one of the languages spoken by the indigenous people of Central Mexico: Xaco, meaning dark, and xoxotlani, meaning firefly (Wood, 2024), in allusion to the fact that this is a non-bioluminescent (a “dark”) firefly. </p>
            <p> Diagnosis. With the subfamily diagnosis (see above). Pronotum triangular, isosceliform (Fig.2B) (vs. subquadrate or square in  Chespirito ); the protibiae 1/3 shorter than profemora (Fig. 3A) (vs. pro- tibiae and femora subequal in length in  Chespirito ); antennomeres 3–11 subserrate, dorsoventrally flattened, antennomere 11 distally notched (Fig.2A) (vs. filiform, round in cross section in  Chespirito ). </p>

            <p> Species Included.  Xacoxoxotlani chiapensis new species . </p>
            <p>Description. General body coloration dark brown (Figs. 2A, 3), pronotal disc, prosternum, and tarsi yellow (Figs. 2A–B, 3A–C). Body setose, dorsal, thoracic and abdominal pubescence short and erect, sparsely distributed (Fig. 1), remainder of body with fine light brown pubescence throughout (Figs. 2–3).</p>
            <p>Body. Head: Longer than wide (Fig. 3B), dorsal texture alveolate (Fig.3B), posteriorly or completely covered by pronotum, prognathous, frons convex and slightly protruding (Figs. 2A–B). Eyes hemispherical, projecting anterolaterally, coarsely granulate (Figs.2, 3A–B). Mouthparts: Maxillary palp four-segmented, setose; palpomeres I small, short, ca. ¼ the length of palpomeres II; palpomeres II small, half the length of III; palpomeres III and IV subequal in length, the IV apically truncate and discolored (Fig. 3B). Labial palp apparently three-segmented. Mandibles developed, falciform, small (Fig. 3B). Posterior margin of epistoma emarginate, round (Fig. 3B); labrum indistinct from clypeus, membranous and setose, transverse (Fig. 3B). Antennae: 11-segmented; antennifers separated by a third of antennifer width; in resting upfront position, as long as two-thirds of elytra, densely setose; scape subconic, pedicel ⅓ shorter than precedent, flagellomere 3 subequal in length with the precedent; antennomeres 4–11 subserrate, connected by thin translucent membranes, dorsoventrally flattened; antennomere 11 distally notched (Figs. 2A–B, 3A–C)</p>
            <p> Thorax. Prothorax: Pronotum isosceliform (Fig. 2A–B); bordering margins thick; anterior angle slightly bisinuated (Figs. 2A–B); longitudinal carina absent (Fig. 2A); disc alveolate, bearing irregularly shaped cells, relatively larger when compared to cells in adjacent area (Fig. 2B); adjacent area strongly punctate, with small irregular cells smaller than those closer to center (Fig. 2B). Hypomeron concave, closed in front, the inner margin attaining the anterior angle, when viewed laterally, alveolate (Fig. 3C). Prosternum elongate, medially constricted, divided in the middle by a distinct longitudinal suture forming two plates; anteriorly with a narrow inter-coxal process (Figs. 3A). Mesothorax: Mesospiracles tubular, somewhat stout, resting right above mesanepisternum. Mesoventrite subtrapezoidal, medially bearing a distinct keel, posteriorly reaching anterior margin of metaventrite, laterally connected to mesanepisternum; mesepimeron anteriorly touching posterior portion of metanepisternum. Scutellar shield rectangular, slightly notched apically. Metathorax: Metaventrite alveolate, convex, posterolateral angles round (Fig.3A); metadiscrimen complete, metanepisternum and metepimeron elongate, widest in the apex (Fig. 3A). Elytra: dehiscent, 4.5× longer than pronotum, covered with small papillae, each bearing single tiny seta; with two weakly developed  costae , secondary  costae absent (Fig. 2A). Legs: slender, elongate (Fig. 2); protrochantin exposed; trochanters pill-shaped; protibiae 1/3 shorter than profemora (Fig. 3A); meso- and metafemora and tibiae subequal in length femora sturdy, slightly fusiform; tibiae slightly clavate, slender; pro- and mesocoxae conical, obliquely positioned, procoxae contiguous, mesocoxae separated, metacoxae transverse; tarsal formula 5-5-5, all tarsomeres narrow; tarsomere I very long, as long as sum of tarsomeres II–IV (Fig.3C), bearing simple claws. </p>
            <p>Abdomen with eight ventrites, lantern absent; ventrite 7 trilobed, median lobed round, lateral lobes apically acuminate, pronounced (Fig.3D, in green); ventrite 8 obovate, apically entire, not notched (Fig. 3D, in red); tergite VIII apically medially notched apically (Fig. 3E). Aedeagal sheath: inserted in the abdomen apex, not externally visible, composed of a dorsal (green) and a ventral plate (red); dorsal plate oval, scoop shaped, tapering toward base (Fig. 4 C-4D); ventral plate subdivided in two: a basal, bisinuate (Fig. 4C–4D), and a fusiform, elongate plate, basally fused to basal plate. Male genitalia trilobate, symmetrical (Figs. 4A–B); median lobe sword shaped, apically acuminate; parameres apically round (Figs. 4A–B) shorter than median lobe; phallobase transverse.</p>
            <p>Females. Unknown and presumably affected by the paedomorphosis syndrome (see introduction section).</p>
            <p>Length (exposed portion of head+pronotum+elytra). 6.2 mm. Width (across humeri). 1.2 mm.</p>
            <p> Distribution.  Xacoxoxotlani is only known to occur in Chiapas, Mexico (Fig. 5). </p>
            <p> Biology and immatures. Like in  Chespirito , immature stages and information about the ecology and biology ofXacoxoxotlani is unknown. </p>
