Neocteniza agustinea n. sp. is described based on a female from Coiba Island, Coiba National Park, Panama. It is the second species of the genus known from Panama. Based on the analysis of its spermathecae, this species is a member of the sclateri group of Goloboff (1987) and is closely related to N. osa Platnick & Shadab, 1976 and N. occulta Platnick & Shadab, 1981 from Costa Rica and Panama respectively. Information is provided on the natural history of this species, including parasitism by the pompilid wasp Euplaniceps varia Bradley, 1944.
