abstract
The genus Pangaeus contains 23 species, eight have been registered in Mexico, and six of them in Veracruz. Immature stages of P. docilis and P. piceatus were found in remnants of riparian vegetation of the mesophilous forest in La Antigua river basin, Veracruz. Detailed descriptions and illustrations of the nymphal and adult stages of Pangaeus species are presented. Information about the biology of Cydnidae and ecological notes are included as well. P. piceatus is a new record for Veracruz and P. docilis is a new record for Mexico.
