The new species lotharmeyerite from the Ojuela mine, Mapimi, Durango, Mexico, was recently described by Dunn (1983) . Unfortunately, the very small crystals in drussy growths wiich that author had at his disposal did not perit the determination of a number of important characteristics. The availability of larger, individual crystals from the same locality now makes possible a more compolete description of the species.
