ABSTRACT. Two new species of predaceous midges are described from Mexico: Ceratoculicoides aliciae and Brachypogon (Isohelea) cuacuahuitlus. Ceratoculicoides aliciae represents the firstoccurrence of the from outside the Holarctic Region. Additional unnamed females are recorded from Costa Rica. Two further species of Brachypogon Kieffer are recorded for the first time from Mexico: Brachypogon (Brachypogon) bimaculatus Spinelli and Grogan and B. (B.) woodruffi Spinelli and Grogan and. Brachypogon fuscivenosus (Lutz) is newly recorded from the Yucatan Peninsula (Mexico). KEY W ORDS: Diptera, Ceratopogonidae, , Brachypogon, Ceratoculicoides, Mexico, Costa Rica, new species.

RESUMEN. Dos nuevas especies de jejenes depredadores se describen de México: Ceratoculicoides aliciae y Brachypogon (Isohelea) cuacuahuitlus. Ceratoculicoides aliciae representa el primer registro del género fuera del rango de la región Holártica. Datos adicionales de hembras no descritas aún, son informados de Costa Rica. Dos especies de Brachypogon son registrados por primera vez de México: Brachypogon (Brachypogon) bimaculatus Spinelli y Grogan y B. (B.) woodruffi Spinelli y Grogan. Brachypogon fuscivenosus (Lutz) es nuevamente informado para la Península de Yucatán (México).
