Abstract
Bephratelloides ablusus Grissell and Foster, new species, is described and illustrated based upon specimens that emerged from seeds of Cymbo petalum mayanum (Annonaceae) in southern Mexico. This is the first spe cies of Bephratelloides that is associated with a host other than Anno na. Bephratelloides ablusus is compared with its congeners from which it differs in minor character states. No external morphological charac teristics suggest a specialized association with Cymbopetalum.
