AB  - A new genus and species of nereidid (<i>Lycastilla cavernicola</i>) is described from a freshwater pond within a cave found in Mexico. Its affinities with the other five genera of the subfamily are discussed with comments on the genus <i>Namanereis</i>. The new genus has more affinities with <i>Lycastoides</i> Johnson than with other genera in the subfamily despite the difference in the structure and number of tentacular cirri, and is presumably a relict species. The habitat is described and some remarks on the biology of the species are given.
