A new troglobitic species of the subfamily Pselaphinae (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae), Tychobythinus antojandro sp. nov., is described from a cave in south Spain. The main diagnostic features based on male and female specimens are listed and illustrated. The new species shows evident adaptations to cave life, such as reduced eyes with only three ommatidia; reddish-brown in colour; absence of hind wings; and elongate legs and antennae. It can be easily separated from the rest of the Iberian species by the different shape of the aedeagus. So far, Tychobythinus antojandro sp. nov. is known only from its type locality, the limestone cave G.E.V.-2 in the Sierra de Cazorla in southern Spain.
在西班牙南部的一个洞穴中发现了球蕈甲亚科（鞘翅目：隐翅虫科）的一个新洞穴物种——安托扬德罗泰乔隐翅虫（Tychobythinus antojandro sp. nov.）。文中列出并展示了基于雄性和雌性标本的主要鉴别特征。新物种表现出对洞穴生活的明显适应，例如眼睛退化，仅存三个小眼；体色为红棕色；无后翅；腿部和触角细长。通过阳茎的不同形状，它可以很容易地与伊比利亚半岛的其他物种区分开来。到目前为止，安托扬德罗泰乔隐翅虫仅在其模式产地——西班牙南部卡索拉山脉的G.E.V.-2石灰岩洞穴中被发现。
