Macrodactylus impressus Bates, 1887 is a rare Mexican species, reported in the states of Puebla (municipality of Guadalupe Victoria) and Durango (La Michilía Biosphere Reserve). During an excursion to collect Melolonthinae specimens from the Cofre de Perote Volcano, a total of four adults of Macrodactylus impressus were collected, which constitutes the first record of the species in the state of Veracruz. This new state record also reaches a new record in altitude, as samples were collected at 3270 m. a. s. l., and in latitude, since it represents the southernmost record of the species.
