A new species that is closely related to Artelpistina weyrauchi (Wygodzinsky, 1959), which is also found in Peru, is described. Both South American species are distinct from North American congeners by the presence of several characters shared with species of the genera Cubacubana and Prosthecina, indicating a probable early division within the Anelpistina clade.
