Abstract

Adults of Trichoptera: Glossosomatidae were surveyed from Chiapas and Guerrero, Mexico, and were collected using black light traps and entomological nets. Two new species are described: Protoptila danielae sp. nov., from Chiapas state and Protoptila thomi sp. nov., from Guerrero, state route 130, 80 km NW of Zihuatanejo, and the male genitalia are illustrated. The species Protoptila mayana Flint is registered as a new record for Mexico; additionally, we provide an updated checklist of the genus Protoptila species from Mexico.
