In this paper, Stenoria antoinei Pardo Alcaide, 1953 is recorded for the first time in the Iberian Peninsula and Europe. Its specific validity is confirmed and the main diagnostics traits are exposed, especially those related to the aedeagus. Likewise, a comparative study is made between the two species that constitute the S. apicalis (Latreille, 1802) group (S. apicalis and S. antoinei) in the Iberian Peninsula. Discriminating morphological traits between both species (principally on head, antennae, elitra and external male genitalia) and their respective geographic distributions are discussed, showing the morphologic variability, with special emphasis on the characters provided by the aedeagus. Also, distinctive traits among the iberian species of genus Stenoria Mulsant, 1857 (S. apicalis, S. antoinei and S. analis Schaum, 1859) are presented in a diagnostic key.
