“…We synonymise C. guerrerensis with C. major, based on the observation of holotypes, being the body shape and total body length, as well as the maxillary palps and wing venation particularly important characters for its synonymisation. C. major is sister to C. magnus (Vega-Badillo et al 2021b), but can be distinguished by the elytral length and r3 vein. In C. magnus, each elytron is 4 times as long as wide, whereas in C. major, they are almost 4.5 times as long as wide; the r3 vein is absent in C. magnus, whereas in C. major, it is present.…”

“…Remarks. Cenophengus munizi is in a clade with C. mumui and C. huatulcoensis (Vega-Badillo et al 2021b), but can be distinguished from C. mumui by the shape and colour of the head and interantennal distance. Cenophengus munizi exhibits a rectangular-shaped head, which is yellow-brown coloured like the rest of the body, whereas in C. mumui, it is square and brown.…”

Phengodidae (Coleoptera: Elateroidea), commonly known as glowworm beetles, are a small family of bioluminescent and paedomorphic beetles. There are few phylogenetic studies of Phengodidae, and these are mostly discordant, especially when comparing morphology-based and molecular-based phylogenetic hypotheses. Here, we used the anchored hybrid enrichment approach to undertake the first phylogenomic analysis of Phengodidae (≤358 loci and 39 taxa) and evaluate the higher-level classification of the group. In agreement with previous molecular studies, we recovered Phengodidae as sister to Rhagophthalmidae, and the Old World Cydistinae as sister to all New World Phengodidae. In contrast to previous hypotheses, both Phengodinae and Mastinocerinae were each recovered as monophyletic. Cenophengus was found to be sister to Mastinocerinae, in contrast to some previous hypotheses that placed it as sister to all New World Phengodidae. Considering its morphological divergence, we here establish Cenophenginae subfam. nov. Despite the largest and most comprehensive sampling of Phengodidae in any molecular-based study to date, we had only limited success in revealing the relationships among genera within the most species-rich subfamily, Mastinocerinae. Further studies should focus on the phylogeny and classification of this taxonomically neglected subfamily, on the phylogenetic placement of enigmatic Penicillophorinae, and on seeking morphological support for the main clades of Phengodidae.

A taxonomic revision of the genus Cenophengus LeConte, 1881 (Coleoptera: Phengodidae) is provided, including new data on geographic ranges of the species. This is the first time this genus has been recorded for Belize and in Honduras. Four new species (C. gardunoi, C. saasil, C. tsiik and C. zuritai) are described and a new synonymy (C. guerrerensis, Zaragoza-Caballero, 1991 = C. major Wittmer, 1976) is established. The study includes a key to the 30 valid species, diagnoses, descriptions, photographs and distribution maps.
