Abstract
Anabropsis homerogomezi n. sp. from the state of Michoacán, Mexico, is described in memory of Homero Gómez, the defender of the monarch butterfly who disappeared in Mexico and whose work “affected the interests” of illegal loggers. Pteranabropsis rehni (Griffini, 1909) n. comb. the only Anabropsis species reported for Africa, is proposed as a new combination, restricting the distribution of Anabropsis to the New World. Finally, the taxonomic debates and organization of the subfamily Anabropsinae and the peculiarities of the new species are discussed in contrast to the other Anabropsis species.
