A new species of the Tethyan genus Stygocyathura (Isopoda, Cymothoida), Stygocyathura taitii n.sp., collected in a well of the Socotra Island, is described here. The new species, on the basis of the similarity of the structure of the appendix masculina, appears related to S. numeae, a thalassostygobiotic species from New Caledonia.
