Streptocephalus kargesi, new species (Streptocephalidae), is described from Veracruz, Mexico. It is distinguished from all other North American fairy shrimps of the genus Streptocephalusby the absence of a spur on the thumb, the lack of teeth on the finger, and having the frontal appendage not bilobed. A phylogenetic analysis of the nine North American species of Streptocephalus is presented.
