A new genus, Pseudocatamachilis gen.n. is established on the basis of a thorough study of many specimens male and female of Catamachilis torquata (Nav#aAs, 1905). All type material was lost during the Spanish civil war (1936‐39). A neotype is designated and the species redescribed. Genus Pseudocatamachilis is related to Catamachilis Silvestri and Promesomachilis Silvestri, but distinguished from these genera by the type of ovipositor and the presence of two pairs of parameres, among other characteristics given in the text.
