Nitocrella morettii n.sp. from phreatic subterranean waters of Umbria, central Italy, is described. Following Petkovski’s recent revision of the genus Nitocrella, the new species belongs to the N. psammophila Chappuis, 1955. A key to all the species of hirta-group of species being close to Nitocrella sensu Petkovski, 1976, is presented.
