Abstract
An adult Symphimus leucostomus Cope, 1869, was found 2 km N of the village La Cofradía, in the Municipality of San Pedro Mixtepec, state of Oaxaca, México. This record represents the southernmost location of the species, and fills a gap between reported localities in southeastern Oaxaca in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, and the mouth of the Balsas River in the state of Michoacán.
