Abstract	A new species of Omoadiphas is described from the Cerro Texiguat Wildlife Refuge in the Cordillera Nombre de Dios of northern Honduras. The new species differs from the congeneric O. aurula in number of subcaudal, supralabial, infralabial, and postocular scales, in color and pattern, and in having the posterior nasal scale in contact with the prefrontal scale. Even though the type-locality is declared a wildlife refuge by the Honduran government, rapid deforestation of the area does not bode well for the continued existence of the species at its type (and only known) locality. Se describe una nueva especie de Omoadiphas del Refugio de Vida Silvestre Texiguat, ubicado en la Cordillera Nombre de Dios en el norte de Honduras. La nueva especie difiere de su congenerico O. aurula en el n´umero de escamas subcaudales, supralabiales, infralabiales y postoculares, en color y patrOn y en que tiene la escama nasal posterior en contacto con la escama prefrontal. Aunque la localidad tipo ha sido declarada como un Refugio de Vida Silvestre por el gobierno de Honduras, la rapida deforestaciOn que se observa en el area es una amenaza para la nueva especie.
