Resumen
Gastrisus newtonorum, new species, is described based on specimens from the states of Mexico, Guerrero, Jalisco and Morelos. One specimen was examined by Bernhauer, however it was misidentified as G. mimetes Sharp. The Mexican record of G. mimetes in Bernhauer and Schubert's and Blackwelder's catalogs was probably based on this misidentification. The two species are compared, and the aedeagi are illustrated. Distributional and biological data are provided.
