Two new genera, Paraholsingerius and Tamaweckelia, and two new species, P. mexicanus and T. apalpa are described from caves in eastern Coahuila and southern Tamaulipas, Mexico, respectively. Holsingerius smaragdinus, previously known from a single cave in Val Verde County, Texas, is placed in the new genus Paraholsingerius, and a second population of P. smaragdinus is recorded from northern Coahuila, Mexico. A new record for Paramexiweckelia in north-central Coahuila is documented.
