Abstract
Two species of Triplocania, known so far only from Cordoba, Veracruz, Mexico, are here described and illustrated; they rise to five the number of species of Triplocania in Mexico. T. delgadoi n. sp., is close to two Central American species, but differs from them in the forewing pigmentation pattern and in the structure of the female ninth sternum. T. halffterorum is unique in the genus by presenting two striking autapomorphies: a hypandrium of one sclerite, with two anterior projections bent posteriorly, and two sausage-shaped projections in the female ninth sternum; it constitutes a distinct species group in the genus. The types are deposited in the National Insect Collection (CNIN), Instituto de Biologia, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico.
