摘要
The family Protoschizomidae is currently known from 13 species and 2 genera found in Mexico. The present contribution describes 3 new species of Agastoschizomus, 2 from caves in Tamaulipas and Estado de Mexico; the third one from a cave in Texas, USA. With this contribution, the genus Agastoschizomus attains the same richness as Protoschizomus (8 species) and the family distribution expands to include the USA. An identification key for the species in the genus is included. All Rights Reserved 2016 Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, Instituto de Biologia.
