A new species of parasitic nematode, Spinitectus tabascoensis sp. nov., is described based on museum specimens recovered from the intestine of the blue catfish Ictalurus furcatus (Valenciennes) from the upper reaches of the Usumacinta River near Tenosique, Tabasco, southeastern Mexico. The new species is characterized mainly by markedly long cuticular spines and their arrangement, the situation of the excretory pore between the 6th and 7th rings of spines, the length of the left spicule (213 µm), and the number and arrangement of caudal papillae in the male. This is the fifth species of Spinitectus reported from freshwater and migratory fishes in Mexico.
