Abstract
Triotemnus ibericus sp. nov. from Iberian Peninsula is described. This is the first species of Triotemnus from the Spainish mainland. External morphology of the new species and all morphologically similar Triotemnus species are discussed. The new species is morphologically related to species from Morocco and Algeria, possesses several distinctive morphological characters on the elytral declivity. Geographical distribution and the probability of endemicity are discussed.
