Abstract
Feuerborniella veracruzana sp. nov., is described and illustrated based on male and female characteristics. This species belongs to a group of historically troublesome taxa. Formerly the genus Feuerborniella Vaillant, was considered as part of the Threticus genera-group under different tribes, but are now in the tribe Psychodini. The species described here fits well in this genus, and is morphologically similar to F. plaumanni (Duckhouse) described from Brazil.References
