A new species of Pediculariidae Gray, 1853 from the Lower Lutetian (Eocene) of the Paris region, France, is described in this article, and compared with related species from the same region and and/or closely related stratigraphic stages. Curiously, this species, attributed to the genus Cypraedia Swaison, 1940, has been overlooked in spite of its unmistakable distinctive characters, making it very easy to identify at first glance.
