On the basis of 32 specimens collected in La Mancha, Veracruz, México (19°38'N, 19°25'W), we describe Parandalia vivianneae. It is characterized by free-palps, emergent spines from setiger 7, ventral cirri from setiger 4, and 5-6 neurosetae per bundle. Taxonomic affinities and the ecology of the species are discussed. Parandalia tricuspis (Müller), a recently redescribed pilargid, is also recorded from this locality.
