Resumen:
Throughout the fumigation with natural pyrethrin of 2 tree species in
the humid tropical rain forest of Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz, 6 species of
the genus Scapheremaeus were obtained, one of them is a new species for
science, with characters very highly specialized to tree life which is
described here. With the differential characters of the new species
(less than 300 mu, very wide pyriform notogaster; prodorso with well
developed lamellar carinae, without translamella; with 7 pairs of
claviform notogastric setae, genito-anal formula 4-1-1-2; very short and
tridactyl legs), the generic diagnosis is modified and the morphological
adaptations for tree life are discussed. In addition, a key for Mexican
and Central American species is provided and some new records for the
locality are given.
