Abstract

The “Pale bordered field cockroach” Pseudomops septentrionalis Hebard, 1917 has not been previously reported in the Mexican state of Nuevo León; therefore, we publish this new record and include photographs taken in the laboratory and extracted from the iNaturalist platform. A diagnosis and illustrations of the species are presented, and a new color variation is also reported for the first time.
