Phanaeus (Notiophanaeus) zoque Moctezuma and Halffter, new species, of the endymion species-group, is described from the temperate forests of Los Chimalapas in Oaxaca, Mexico. The new species is illustrated and compared with the closely related Phanaeus endymion Harold. A diagnosis to separate it from related species is given, and its ecological aspects are discussed.
