Cardiorhinus Eschscholtz, 1829

Golbach (1983) provided a synopsis of Cardiorhinus Eschscholtz in a summary of his revision of the genus through a series of papers, but did not report any species from Ecuador. Previously, Schwarz (1902) described C. bimaculatus from Archidona, Ecuador, and Fleutiaux (1940) described C. politus from an unspecified Ecuadorian locality. Here, we provide an Ecuadorian record for a third species of the genus.
