Anelaphus nitidipennis Chemsak & Linsley, 1968: 33 View in CoL ; Chemsak et al., 1988: 292 (distr.); Chemsak et al., 1992: 39 (cat.); Monné, 1993: 53 (cat.); Monné & Giesbert, 1994: 50 (checklist); Chemsak & Noguera, 1995: 59 (distr.); Noguera & Chemsak, 1996: 398 (cat.); Noguera et al., 2002: 623 (distr.); Monné, 2005: 195 (cat.); Noguera et al., 2007: 310 (distr.); MacRae et al., 2012: 176 (host); Noguera et al., 2018: 461 (distr.); Bezark, 2018: 46 (distr.); Monné, 2021: 309 (cat.).

This species is somewhat aberrant to Anelaphus View in CoL . In general, the vertex in Anelaphus View in CoL is flattened or, at most, gradually and slightly elevated toward the prothorax (somewhat abruptly and distinctly elevated in A. nitidipennis View in CoL ), the transverse sulcus on the prosternum is shallow or nearly absent in all species examined by us (deeper in A. nitidipennis View in CoL ), the lower eye lobes are larger and less distant from each other ventrally (proportionally smaller and very distant from each other ventrally in A. nitidipennis View in CoL ). According to Lingafelter (2020) the antennomeres are not dorsally carinate in Anelaphus View in CoL , while the antennomeres IV–VIII are carinate in A. nitidipennis View in CoL (III–IX, according to Chemsak and Linsley 1968). Even so, it is difficult to separate this species from the other species of Anelaphus View in CoL . This because there are other species with the posterodorsal area of the head at least somewhat tumid (e.g. A. pilosus View in CoL ), and with the antennomeres at least somewhat dorsally carinate (e.g. A. subinermis View in CoL ).

Currently, the species is known from Mexico (Sinaloa, Colima, Morelos, Oaxaca, Jalisco, Michoacán), and Guatemala (Zacapa) ( Monné 2021; Tavakilian and Chevillotte 2021).

Material examined. GUATEMALA, Zacapa: Quarry Rd to San Lorenzo, Sierra las Minas , 15º05’N 89º67’W, 675 m, 1 female, 29-31.V.2019, Wappes, Monzón and Skillman leg. ( FSCA) .
