A new troglobitic species, Nesticus baeticus sp. n. (male female), inhabiting the karst landscapes of the high part of the Cazorla, Segura and Las Villas Natural Park (NE Jaen, Spain) where it has been found in 8 caves is diagnosed and described, its distribution and habitat are also analyzed. The new species belongs to the Iberian species group that includes N. luquei, N lusitanicus and N murgis.
