A new species of Acanthocyclops KIEFER is described from central Mexico. It differs from its congeners by a combination of characters including mainly: 11-13 antennular segments, a spine formula of 3444 and modified setae on legs 2-4. The presence of a compound distal antennular segment is aberrant within the Cyclopoida. The new species seems to be related to Nearctic forms of the vernalis-robustus clade. Ancestors of this lineage probably reached central Mexico as a result of glaciation events and the new species is a remain of stranded postglacial populations; some of these forms were succesful in colonizing tropical lands. A key for the identification of the species of Acanthocyclops recorded in Mexico is included. Inglés
