Abstract: A new genus and species, Balogheremaeus chimaera gen. et sp. n. is described after a specimen found in a dry riverbed in Southeastern Spain. A comparison with the rest of the family Plateremaeidae is made. The new genus and species is differenciated from the rest of the family Plateremaeidae due to its smaller size, its convex notogaster, the presence of three pairs of anal setae and the presence of well developed laminated excrescences or crests in its legs, both dorsally and ventrally.
