A new genus of Hygromiidae, Plentuisa, is described for P. vendia n. sp., discovered in the Picos de Europa (Asturias, North of the Iberian Peninsula), and characterized by a very small shell with long hairs, widely umbilicate, and a genital system with a male portion having a rudimentary flagellum and a female portion having digitiform glands but lacking dart and accessory sacs. The systematic position of the new genus is discussed, and it is included in the subfamily Trichiinae.
