Brachydesmus nevoi sp. nov. is described from several places in Israel. This new species shows modest but evident morphism/variation in structure of the gonopod exomere, being the first in the family Polydesmidae to be recorded in the Levant. It seems to be particularly close to several Balkan congeners, but differs in lack of any teeth on the gonopod femoral and/or prefemoral parts and, above all, in a remarkably prominent accessory seminal chamber.
