Eupogonius comus was described based on a single specimen from Mexico (Oaxaca). According to Bates (1885) (translated): “antennae black, antennomere IV with basal half, and entire antennomeres VIII and IX grayish.” However, the photograph of the holotype shows that the basal half of IV and entire area of VIII and IX are reddish-brown. In the specimen examined, these antennomeres are entirely dark. The color of the basal antennomeres in other species is somewhat variable. Thus, variation in this species is also expected. Although we did not examine specimens of other species with variation in the color of the distal antennomeres, we believe the light color in the antennomeres VIII and IX of the

holotype is probably an extreme variation, as we did not find any other morphological differences in the specimen examined.

According to Monné (2019), it has been known only from the Mexican state of Oaxaca, to this we add: Puebla (new state record).

Material examined. MEXICO, Puebla (new state record): 13.3 miles NE Tehuetzingo , 1 male, 13–14. VII.1974, Clark , Murray , Ashe and Schaffner col. ( ACMT) .
