Resumen:
Wesmaelius (Kimminsia) nanacamilpa Marquez & Contreras, sp. n., a brown
lacewing from Tlaxcala state, Mexico is described and illustrated. This
is the second recorded species of Wesmaelius from Mexico, and the third
from Middle America. Males of the new species may be identified by
parameres separate apically, styliform sclerites directed basally, as
well as a rounded gonarcus with a short entoprocessus. Females may be
distinguished from closely related species by a subgenital plate with
the central plate broadly incised basally. There are now 16 species of
Wesmaelius known from the New World.
