A new genus and species of Placusini from a high mountain in Mexico

Abstract: A new genus and species are described from the Cofre de Perote volcano, in the state of Veracruz, Mexico.

“…The tribe Placusini includes five genera and 189 species with nearly global distribution (absent in New Zealand) (e.g., Santiago‐Jiménez & Santiago‐Navarro, 2016). Historically, Placusa was recognized as a taxon closely related to Homalotini based on 4–4–5 tarsal formula and subcortical biology (Fenyes, 1918; Lohse, 1974; Mulsant & Rey, 1871; Seevers, 1978).…”
