Resumen
Se revisan las especies del Nuevo Mundo de Pharaxonotha Reitter. Se reconocen cuatro species:' Pharaxonotha floridana (Casey), conocida solamente de Florida, se desarrolla en conos de Zamia pumila; P. kirschii Reitter, difundida plaga de productos almacenados, se encuentra frecuentemente asociada con capullos de algodón, granos y tubérculos; dos nuevas especies de Costa Rica, P. clarkorum y P. confusa, se alimentan de polen de Zamia skinneri y Z. fairchildeana respectivamente. Se presenta una clave para la determinación de las especies del Nuevo Mundo.
