It looks similar to a stonefly species we have in WA, but I don't believe that genus is distributed beyond the NW coastal region of the US, so have asked Dr. Richard Baumann if he recognizes it. Will post his response when received.
Best regards,

Dr. Baumann's response:

The stonefly nymph is probably a member of the genus Anacroneuria. This is the most common genus in Mexico and Central America. It is in the family Perlidae.


My addition:

There appear to be only two North American species of this genus, and only one of them being present in Mexico (MX):

Anacroneuria lineata (Pickett), 1924) BE, HO, MX, NI, TX
Anacroneuria wipukupa Baumann and Olson, 1984 AZ
