Abstract

La hembra de la araña Curicaberis pedregal Rheims, 2015 (Sparassidae) es descrita por primera vez. La descripción está basada en dos hembras adultas del estado de Tlaxcala, México. La corroboración de la especie está basada en dos machos de la especie, recolectados junto con las hembras. Con estos nuevos registros, actualmente la especie está distribuida en Ciudad de México y Tlaxcala, estados del centro de México.
