Abstract

Identifications of recently collected Eucnemidae (Coleoptera: Elateroidea) borrowed from two col¬lections have resulted in the discovery of two new species: Entomophthalmus abbreviatus Otto (Cuba) and Trigonopleurus cordobaalfaroi Otto (Guatemala and Louisiana, USA). Images of the two newly described spe¬cies along with two New World Entomophthalmus Bonvouloir species for comparative purposes are included
