Knowledge of stygobiont molluscs has dramatically increased in the last years with the description of a plethora of new genera and species. However, some regions have received little attention to date. In the present paper three new stygobiont species are described for the SW Iberian Peninsula, including the first stygobiont mollusc ever described for Portugal, a new hydrobiid genus, and the first Moitessieriidae for Andalusia. These discoveries highlight the gaps of knowledge in this field. Keywords: Gastropoda, stygobiont, freshwater, endemism, Andalusia, Portugal.
