Material examined: 15 specimens and one egg: Piedmont of Sierra Las Mitras ( 25°44′45.98′′N , 100°25′27.68′′W , ca. 700 m asl), Monterrey, Nuevo Leon , Mexico . Lichen ( Nephroma sp.) on tree ( Quercus virginiana ), coll. Antonio Moreno - Talamantes, 8 November 2014 . Five specimens and three eggs: 1 km E of La Peñita ( 25°20′50.79′′N , 100°22′01.21′′W , ca. 2250 m asl), Santiago, Nuevo Leon , Mexico . Moss on soil, coll. Mario Alberto Garcia Aranda, 9 February 2015 . Three specimens and five eggs: Cerro La Viga ( 25°20′23.43′′N , 100°22′06.42′′W , ca. 2645 m asl), 2 km E of La Peñita, Santiago, Nuevo Leon , Mexico . Moss on soil, coll. Mario Alberto Garcia Aranda, 9 February 2015 . Comments: Our specimens and eggs correspond well with the original description. Minibiotus continuus has been reported in several localities in Costa Rica and Mexico ( Pilato & Lisi 2006 ; Kaczmarek et al . 2011 , 2014; Meyer 2013), and probably has a wider Neotropical distribution. This is a new record for the State of Nuevo Leon .
