Abstract

A new species, Sminthurus sagitta Loring and Snider, is described from New Mexico. The specimens are old and in poor condition, but can be separated from other species on the basis of color pattern, absence of ungual tunica, lack of antennal apical bulb, and distinguishing setal patterns on femur and tibiotarsus. The type locality is Springer, Colfax County, New Mexico. Specimens were taken from grass.
