It soon became evident that there were more names than species, that some previously regarded species were geographic variants, and that the eastern and western groups (complexes here) were artificial divisions of the genus. I conclude that there are seven species (one polytypic) of _Syrrhophus_ in eastern Mexico, Texas, and El Peten of Guatemala, and seven species (one polytypic) in western Mexico. The current status of each of the 23 names correctly assigned to the genus is presented in Table 3. The fourteen species recognized by me are placed in five species groups. Two of these groups are presently placed in the western complex (_modestus_ and _pipilans_ groups) and three in the eastern complex (_leprus_, _longipes_ and _marnockii_ groups). The two complexes do not correspond exactly with the eastern and western groups of Smith and Taylor (1948), Firschein (1954), and Duellman (1958) since _S. rubrimaculatus_ is now associated with the eastern _leprus_ group. The definitions and contents of the five species groups are as follows:
