【 摘 要 】

We describe a new species of Micrurus from the Mexican state of Tamauliupas. All of our specimens were encountered in pine-oak forestabove an elevation of 750 meters. The new species is related to Micrurus tener, but differs in the absence of a yellow parietal ring and the presence of a tricolored tail.
