Se describe a Potosa pisaflores sp. nov. proveniente de material recolectado en la Cueva del Caracol, Pisaflores, Hidalgo, México. Esta es la cuarta especie del género y la segunda donde las hembras son conocidas. La especie nueva es similar a Potosa dybasi Goodnight & Goodnight, 1947, pero puede ser reconocida por el elevado número de tarsómeros de las patas II, así como por la forma general de los genitales masculinos.
