Genus Neoxorides Clément, 1938

Type species: Xorides nitens Gravenhorst, 1829 .

Neoxorides is a small Holarctic genus comprising twelve species (Yu et al. 2016; Johansson & Klopfstein 2020). The Western Palaearctic fauna of the genus was recently revised by Johansson & Klopfstein (2020). Three species of Neoxorides were known to occur in the Nearctic region north of Mexico hitherto (Townes & Townes 1960: 390; Carlson 1979: 352), and one undescribed species of Neoxorides is described from Central Mexico in this paper. This is the first record of the genus from Mexico and the southernmost finding of Neoxorides in the world.

Species of Neoxorides are known as idiobiont parasitoids of xylophagous Coleoptera (Townes & Townes 1960; Carlson 1979; Johansson & Klopfstein 2020).
