A new species of the genus Stachorutes, Stachorutes cabagnerensis n. sp., from central Spain is described. It is characterized by the presence of 6+6 eyes in the head, retinaculum 2+2 teeth, dentes with 5 hairs, and the absence of mucron. A phylogenetic analysis of this genus was attempted. Potential synapomorphies supporting the monophyly of Stachorutes are presented. One member of the genus (the Nearctic S. navajellus) appears as a basal form, phylogenetically distant from the remaining (Old World) species. There is evidence for a monophyletic infrageneric clade with the species S. dematteisi, S. jizuensis and S. sphagnophilus. However, more information is required for further phylogenetic resolution.
