The approximate type locality of Chrysina adelaida (Hope, 1841) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae) is fixed in the mountains of southeastern Mexico. Chrysina occidentalis Robacker and Hawks is described as a new species from the Sierra Madre Occidental in northwestern Mexico based on morphometric comparisons of adults and genital capsules with those of C. adelaida from southeastern Mexico and with those of C. adelaida (of authors) from neighboring states south of the Sierra Madre Occidental.
