Abstract
Ochthebius irenae sp. n. is described from Albacete (SE Spain, Iberian Peninsula). The external morphology of the new species is close to O. bonnairei, O. ferroi and O. heydeni, although the structure of the aedeagus places it in an isolated position. The species was found in a shallow temporary pond close to a saline lagoon over gypsiferous soils.
