(P.) planus Lucas, 1857 and C. (P.) reichei Felsche, 1910. Three species assigned to other groups are transferred in the subgenus: C. (P.) quadratus Blanchard, 1843 [previously Canthon " incertae sedis" ]; C. (P.) edentulus Harold, 1868 [previously Canthon " incertae sedis" ] and C. (P.) seminulus Harold, 1867 comb. nov. [previously Vulcanocanthon ]. The genus Vulcanocanthon Pereira & Martínez, 1960 syn. nov. is synonymized with Canthon (Pseudepilissus). Three subspecies are raised to species level: C. (P.) tibialis Schmidt, 1922 stat. nov. [previously C. (P.) lunatus tibialis ]; C. (P.) granuliceps Felsche, 1910 stat. nov. [previously C. edentulus granuliceps ] and C. (P.) hendrichsi Halffter & Martínez, 1968 stat. nov. [previously C. (P.) muticus hendrichsi ]. C. (P.) honsi Balthasar, 1939 syn. nov. is synonymized with C. (P.) reichei Felsche, 1910. Four new species are described: Canthon (P.) arriagadai sp. nov. , Canthon (P.) bonaerensis sp. nov. , Canthon (P.) vidaurrei sp. nov. and Canthon (P.) ziggy sp. nov. , bringing the number of species in the subgenus to 14. Lectotypes are designated for six species C. (P.) muticus Harold, 1867 ; C. (P.) reichei Felsche, 1910 ; C. (P.) planus Lucas, 1857 ; C. (P.) seminulus Harold, 1867 ; C. (P.) granuliceps Felsche, 1910 and C. (P.) quadratus Blanchard, 1843. A detailed literature review, synonymies, description, illustration of key morphological characters, data on the studied material and geographic distribution are provided for each species.
