The knowledge of the family Cerambycidae (Coleoptera) from Mexico is updated based on the literature where records of species from Mexico have been published. In addition, Callimoxys sanguinicollis (Olivier, 1800), Laticranium mandibulare Lane 1959, Bellamira scalaris (Say, 1826), and Strangalia opleri Linsley & Chemsak, 1976 are recorded as new records for the country. A total of 1,836 species (including subspecies), 503 genera, 81 tribes, and seven subfamilies are recorded from Mexico. A complete checklist of taxa is provided.

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. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:72EEEF0A-4259-4B50-96FA-73FD0374BD5C

Se presenta información de las luciérnagas presentes en Tamaulipas, Veracruz, Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatán y Quintana Roo, México, región que se denominó golfo-Caribe. Se provee la diagnosis de las especies presentes en esta región y que no se presentan en trabajos previos, así como una clave taxonómica a subfamilia, tribu y género. Se describe una especie nueva del género Magnoculus McDermott y 15 nuevas del género Photinus Laporte, con lo cual el número de especies de luciérnagas en México aumenta a 301. Para las especies nuevas se ilustran los hábitos dorsales y ventrales, así como los genitales de los machos. Para las especies ya descritas y que no se han abordado en trabajos anteriores, se muestran fotografías de los hábitos dorsales y ventrales. Asimismo, se presentan registros nuevos estatales para Photinus anagabrielae Zaragoza-Caballero y Gutiérrez-Carranza y P. hymenodrilus Zaragoza-Caballero y Gutiérrez-Carranza. Adicionalmente, se proponen los siguientes cambios nomenclaturales: Photinus albolimbatus Gemminger, 1870 comb. rest. = P. ivanovitschi Zaragoza-Caballero, Zurita-García y Ramírez-Ponce, 2023, syn. nov.

The genus Telegeusis Horn is the most diverse of the family Telegeusidae, with 16 described species, most of them distributed in Mexico (13 species). Herein, we describe 4 new species based on material collected from Tamaulipas, Mexico: T. cieloensis sp. nov., T. estebani sp. nov., T. flavafusca sp. nov., and T. luismartinezi sp. nov. Distinguishing characters from closely related species are given and discussed, and the key for the species of the genus is updated.

Cerambycidae is one the most diverse families in the order Coleoptera with more than 37,000 species described in all continents. Cerambicyd beetles have a worldwide distribution from sea level to montane sites. In Mexico, more than 1,600 species have been recorded. Nevertheless, the diversity and distribution of this family in the Mexican deserts is poorly known. A first checklist of Cerambycidae from seven localities of Cuatro Ciénegas Basin is presented. This study is the result of sampling carried out between 2009 to 2013. Some material from other collections is also included. The species list includes four subfamilies, 13 tribes, 32 genera and 37 species, from which 13 are new records for the state of Coahuila and three species represent new records for Mexico. These results highlight the paucity of knowledge of insects in the deserts of Mexico.
