Abstract
Two new species of Disteniidae are described from Oaxaca, Mexico: Distenia (Distenia) toledoi sp. n. and Elytrimitatrix (Grossifemora) chimalapensis sp. n. Distinguishing characters from closely related species are given and discussed. New state records are provided for Distenia (Basisvallis) rugiscapis Bates, 1885; Disteniazteca fimbriata (Lacordaire, 1869); and Elytrimitatrix (Grossifemora) sauria Santos-Silva & Hovore, 2008. A complete checklist of species recorded in Mexico is provided. (AU)
