Canidiopsis canescens Dillon, 1955: 184 ; Gilmour, 1965: 581; Monné and Giesbert, 1993: 243; Monné and Giesbert, 1995; Monné and Hovore, 2004. Type locality: Nayarit, Mexico, 3 mi S Tepic.

Dectes mexicanus , “form a”, Bates, 1881: 174.

Specimens examined: 50, including the holotype and seven paratypes. Found in west­central Mexico (Map 2).

Remarks: Recognizable by the uniform gray pubescence, sparsely punctate pronotal disk, and geographical distribution. Canidia giesberti , new species, is similar in general appearance but is separable from C. canescens by the weakly carinate to rounded form of the scape and its apical process, as well as its more southern distribution.
