Abstract A new species, Ascidioxynus ibericus, is compared with the three previously known species in the genus. This is the first report of this genus in European temperate waters. The characteristic features of A. ibericus are: the genital double-somite broadest at the anterior region, the rostrum rounded, the maxilliped with an unarmed well developed third segment, and the free segment of leg 5 trapezoidal, narrow at its base and increasing in width distally. The diagnosis of the genus is slightly modified to include the variability in the structure of the maxilliped shown by the female in species of Ascidioxynus.
