A new cryptic oxycarenid seed bug, Crophius arribus new species (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Oxycarenidae), is described from the Mexican states of Chiapas, México, Puebla, and Querétaro, and Arizona, USA. The new species is assigned to the genus Crophius Stål even though the length of the labium and the number of fore femoral spines exceed the established generic limits. A lectotype is designated for Oxycarenus scabrous (Uhler).
