Resumen

A new species of psychodid moth fly of the genus Arisemus from Mexico is described based on male and female characteristics. Arisemus imeldae sp. nov. is the first species of this genus reported in Mexico. Specimens were collected near Xalapa city, in the center of the state of Veracruz, Mexico. The male presents a nearly symmetrical long aedeagus and short parameres, gonostylus simple with cluster of few sensilla; female hypovalvae with lobes scarcely separated and posterior portion of genital chamber with wide curved rods, characters that distinguish the species from all other previously described.
