8F3D87ACFF8B667EFF59FB7CDF96F9F7.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis N. haicolous sp. nov. is similar to N. bajacalifornicus, N. bajacalifornicus chamelaensis, N. calakmulensis, and N. veracuzensis in that all present 5 d setae on the palp. The new species differs by the group of 6 thick, serrated, pointed setae on the tibia between the r - type setae, which is unique for Mexican species of Neocarus. This group of setae resembles the group of setae in Brasilacarus cocaris Vázquez, Araújo & Feres, 2015, which has 11 – 12 of these setae, which are also larger. In contrast, N. haicolous has only 6 of these setae. N. haicolous also differs from all other American Neocarus by having thicker and more numerous setae v 1. The ovipositor, even though it is of the simple type, has an obvious pair of canals or ducts in the inferior part of the ovipositor connected to an unknown type of gland. This pair of ducts or channels has been observed in several species like C. panamensis (Vazquez & Klompen 2009), N. veracruzensis (Vazquez & Klompen 2009), O. nobecanus (Vazquez & Klompen 2009) and O. thaleri (Vazquez et al. 2021). Thus, these structures are not unique but are either not always visible or not present in all species.	en	Vázquez, Ma.
