The new species Roella divina is described and illustrated. It belongs in R . ser. Muscosae Adamson and is closely similar to R. uncinata Cupido. R. divina is only known from mountains in the Hottentots Holland range in the Western Cape, South Africa, where it was first collected in 1916. A distribution map and conservation assessment are provided.
