Description

A preliminary checklist of Anthribidae of Guatemala is provided, based on previous literature records and specimens available in entomological collections. A total of 87 species are recorded for Guatemala, classified in 30 genera, 15 tribes, and two subfamilies. One tribe (Anthribinae: Corrhecerini), two genera (Nemotrichus Labram & Imhoff, Acaromimus Jordan), and two species (Nemotrichus inermis Jordan, Acaromimus sharpi Jordan) are new country records. The departments with the highest number of known species are Quetzaltenango (30 spp.), Alta Verapaz (23 spp.), and Baja Verapaz (21 spp.). Anthribid records for El Progreso, Zacapa, and Santa Rosa are included for the first time. Illustrations of representative species and a key to the known genera in Guatemala are included. Additional online resources were generated in the Guatemala Biodiversity Portal, including an interactive checklist and a taxonomic key (https://biodiversidad.gt/portal/checklists/checklist.php?clid=64). In general, knowledge of the anthribids of Guatemala remains scarce. Most species (62 spp.) have not been recorded in the country following their description, and the known distributions of 45 species remain restricted to the type localities. New surveys at the national level and taxonomic revisions are needed to increase the information about this group in the country.
