Serraseius nordestinus Araújo & Oliveira sp. nov. is the second species of the genus. The new species can be separated from Serraseius caicara Moraes, Barbosa & Castro, 2013 by having setae j5, z2, Z4, S2, S4 and S5 over 40% shorter; longer and trumpet-shaped calyx of spermatheca, instead of short and funnel-shaped; seta S5 inserted on the unsclerotized cuticle in the new species, instead of on the dorsal shield; and pre-anal pores almost touching each other, instead of well apart and closer to lateral shield margin.
