Speleobregma lanzaroteum, a new genus and species of polychaete in the family Scalibregmatidae, is described from a marine lava tube cave, Jameos del Agua, on Lanzarote Island, Canary Islands. It differs from all scalibregmatid genera by possessing hirsute hooded geniculate setae. Its placement within the family is discussed.
