Topics considered for publication include systematics, taxonomy,  nomenclature, checklists, faunal works, and natural history. Insecta Mundi will not consider works in the applied sciences (i.e. medical entomology, pest control research, etc.), and no longer publishes book reviews or editorials. In-secta Mundi publishes original research or discoveries in an inexpensive and timely manner, distributing them free via open access on the internet on the date of publication.  Insecta Mundi is referenced or abstracted by several sources including the Zoological Record, CAB Abstracts, etc. Insecta Mundi is published irregularly throughout the year, with completed manuscripts assigned an individual number. Manuscripts must be peer reviewed prior to submission, after which they are reviewed by the editorial board to ensure quality. One author of each submitted manuscript must be a current member of the Center for Systematic Entomology.Managing editor: Paul E. Skelley, e-mail: insectamundi@gmail.comProduction editors: Michael C.

Caccoleptus (Bicaccoleptus) kacka Háva, 2009 is newly recorded from the U.S. and Florida. The female of this species is here described from Florida specimens.Introduction  The genus Caccoleptus Sharp, 1902 (Coleoptera; Dermestidae) contains eight species distributed in the Nearctic and Neotropical regions (Háva 2003, 2009). Here, we present the first U.S. records for one species belonging to the subgenus Bicaccoleptus Háva, 2004. Beal (2003) did not mention this genus in his checklist of the Nearctic Dermestidae. The first record of the genus from the Nearctic region (Mexico) was by Háva et al. (2010).Materials  The following abbreviations refer to the collections in which the specimens examined are deposited: FSCA–Florida State Collection of Arthropods, Gainesville, USA; JHAC–Jiří Háva, Private Entomologi-cal Laboratory and Collection, Czech Republic.Caccoleptus (Bicaccoleptus) kacka Háva, 2009Figures 1–2Material Examined.

Justiz, Cocos nucifera, 1 female, (FSCA); Broward Co., Sunrise, 12.x.2011, coll. J. Muirhear, Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, 1 male, (JHAC).Description. Male. Elytra with black integument, with median transverse band of grey pubescence, reaching suture; and orange apical portion; elytra covered by subrecumbent grey pubescence on orange parts and black on other parts; humerus coarsely punctured, otherwise finely punctured.  Female. Body length 0.93–0.95 mm, width 0.66–0.67 mm. Female differs from the male specimens by the shorter antennae, more robust body form, and color on elytra. Elytral median transverse fasciae on cuticle reddish-brown, covered by grey pubescence.2 • Insecta MundI 0237, May2012 Háva and tHoMasRemarks. This species was described from and heretofore only known from males. The Florida speci-mens were collected on Hibiscus tiliaceus L., Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L. (Malvaceae), Coccoloba uvifera L. (Polygonaceae), Manilkara zapota (L.) P. Royen (Sapotaceae), and Cocos nucifera L. (Arecaceae). The first Florida specimen was determined by R. S. Beal as Caccoleptus sp. in 2001.Distribution. This species was described from Guatemala (Háva 2009) and recorded in the Nearctic region from Mexico (Háva et al. 2010).Acknowledgments   We thank Susan Halbert and Ian Stocks for reviewing a previous version of this paper and the Division of Plant Industry inspectors, whose diligent collecting efforts produced the specimens upon which this paper is based.
