Abstract. The three new species Oncocephalus mochis from Sinaloa, Mexico, O. pen-
insularis from Lower California, Mexico, and O. variabilis from Arizona, California, and
New Mexico are described; and O. nubilus Van Duzee is redescribed. A key to the species
occurring in Mexico and United States of America is given.
