A new species of the genus Stomopteryx Heinemann, 1870, is described as Stomopteryx tudelana Gastón, Vives, Huemer & Farino, sp. nov. from Navarre, Spain. Differential characters are presented as compared to its closest relative, Stomopteryx urartua Kemal, Kizildaĝ & Koçak, 2020, described from Türkiye. The differences concern the external appearance and the male genitalia. The DNA barcodes of the 5’ fragment of the mitochondrial COI gene of the new species cluster within a unique BIN.
