Abstract: Neoarisemus maesi Collantes & Martínez-Ortega, 1999 was described based on
male specimens collected in Nicaragua. Here we record this species in Mexico for
the first time. This corresponds to the first record of the genus in this
country. Neoarisemus maesi is the only species of the genus registered in the
study area and for that reason the sexes can be easily associated. We present
morphological description of the previously unknown female.
