Abstract
A new species of the genus Onychiurus is described from Málaga caves (Southern Spain). Onychiurus gevi sp. nov. is characterized by the peculiar distribution of dorsal (32/033/44433) and ventral (11/000/0101) pseudocelli that allow to distinguish it from the other congeneric species. A key of the world species of Onychiurus is provided.
