Abstract

The habits, geographical distribution, and taxonomy of 13 species from the United States, Mexico, and El Salvador are discussed. Adults prefer leguminous shrubs of the genera Prosopis, Acacia, and Cercidium in which to oviposit, and Mexico appears to be the center of distribution for this group. Illustrations and a key to separate the species are presented, and the following 7 new species are described: Chrysobothris paramodesta, and C. vogti from Mexico, Yucatan; C. explicationis from Mexico, Sinaloa; C. knulli from Arizona; C. brevitarsis from Mexico, Oaxaca; C. verityi from Mexico, Michoacan; and C. paratabalipa from Mexico, Oaxaca.
