Resumo

A new species of the Neotropical moth fly genus Didimioza Quate and Brown is described based on the male characteristics. Didimioza noveloi sp. nov. is the fourth known species of this genus and the first of the genus recorded in Mexico. It is easily recognized from other species of the genus by the angular curvature of the aedeagus and sigmoidal form of the paramere.
