The New World genus Cymatothes (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Amarygmini) is revised in reference to a targeted enrichment based phylogeny using fresh and museum taxa. Cymatothes is the only Amarygmini genus present in western North America, Central America, and South America. Biogeographic relationships between Cymatothes and the rest of this large (1,800+ spp.) cosmopolitan tribe are explored.
