Abstract
Two mite species belonging to the genus Agistemus Summers (Acari: Stigmaeidae) were collected from wild plants known as “chile piquín” (Capsicum anuumm L. var. glabriusculum) in two protected naturals areas, state of Tamaulipas, Mexico. Agistemus piquinnus Monjarás-Barrera & Johann n. sp. is described and illustrated. Agistemus brasiliensis Matioli, Ueckermann & Oliveira, 2002 is a new record for Mexico. A key to the Agistemus species of Mexico is provided.
