Strong secondary granulation on the body and subcuticular reticulation. Third abdominal segment equal to IV. Maxillary palps bifurcate, 3 – 4 sublobal hairs. Labium with a complete set of guards (16), 5 basomedian and 3 proximal setae. Empodium present. Tibiotarsi with 7 setae in the distal ring, often in a subdistal segment. Ventral tube only with lateral and posterior setae. Manubrium without or with only a few tiny anterior setae on distal third, but posterior setae can be very numerous. Dens usually not well developed, thick, cylindrical, or conical, with a granulated posterior side, never crenulate. Mucro separated from dens, massive and lamellate. With three parts of furcal subcoxae (anteriolateral, anteriomedial and posterior). Retinaculum with rami quadridentate and 1 to 4 or more setae dorsally on corpus. Anal spines absent. Setae short, macrosetae undeveloped. Body sensilla mainly in front of the p-row of setae, varies from very abundant to moderately abundant. Apomorphic character: secondary cuticular granulation. Plesiomorphic characters: abundant sensillar chaetotaxy, weak differentiation of macrosetae and primitive dens. Genotype: Isotoma crassicauda Tullberg, 1871: 152.	en	Palacios-Vargas, José G., Arbea, Javier I.

BC372D77F656FFA5A1DCFE1DFC21FBFD.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The new species is named for being the first Mexican species of the genus described from the country (primus = first).	en	Palacios-Vargas, José G., Arbea, Javier I. (2022): The subfamily Pachyotominae in Mexico (Collembola: Isotomidae) with description of a new Pachyotoma species. Zootaxa 5194 (2): 245-259, DOI: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5194.2.6
BC372D77F656FFA5A1DCFE1DFC21FBFD.taxon	discussion	Remarks. P. muskegis has few manubrial setae and is about twice the size of P. primamexicana sp. nov. (Table 1). The new species is characterized by the presence of a very small PAO (about half the size of one eye, while in P. mustegis is about the size of short diameter of the eye); of 5 strong setae on distal anterior surface of dens, and 8 thin setae on posterior surface; retinaculum has 4 teeth on each ramus and from 1 to 4 setae on its corpus (P. muskegis has 2 setae); manubrium with many setae (37 pairs) on posterior surface and without setae on anterior surface; ventral tube with 6 + 6 laterodistal setae and 9 posterior setae, of which 3 are longer. Tibiotarsus P. muskegis has a clear apical subdivision, which is lackining in P. primamexicana sp. nov. It is also similar to P. alpa (Christiansen & Bellinger, 1980) from the USA, but differs in having a smaller PAO, slightly capitate tenent hairs 2, 3, 3 (versus 1, 2, 2 on P. alpa) on tibiotarsi and a higher number of manubrial setae.	en	Palacios-Vargas, José G., Arbea, Javier I.
