The genus Trichoprosopon Theobald, 1901 includes 13 described species in the Neotropical Region, three of which have been recorded in Mexico. In this work, a new species, Trichoprosopon mixtli sp. nov., is described based on characteristics of the fourth-instar larva, pupa, female and male genitalia, and adults. Larvae and pupae were collected from the flower bracts of Heliconia bourgaeana Petersen at the Instituto de Ecología, A.C. (INECOL), inside the "Santuario del Bosque de Niebla", in Xalapa, Veracruz State, Mexico. This is the first time that the complete larval and pupal chaetotaxy of a species of Trichoprosopon is described. Keys for the identification of known species of Trichoprosopon are provided and the internal classification of the genus is discussed.
毛面大蚊属（Trichoprosopon）由西奥博尔德于1901年建立，在新热带区包含13个已描述物种，其中有3种在墨西哥有记录。在本研究中，基于四龄幼虫、蛹、雌雄性生殖器及成虫的特征，描述了一个新物种——混毛面大蚊（Trichoprosopon mixtli sp. nov.）。幼虫和蛹采自墨西哥韦拉克鲁斯州哈拉帕市“云雾森林保护区”内生态研究所（INECOL）的布尔加海芋（Heliconia bourgaeana Petersen）的苞片。这是首次描述毛面大蚊属一个物种完整的幼虫和蛹的毛序。提供了毛面大蚊属已知物种的鉴定检索表，并讨论了该属的内部分类。
