We describe a new caprine form from the Upper Vallesian of La Roma 2 (Teruel Basin, Aragon). Aragoral mudejar Gen.n., sp.n. is close to the primitive forms of the Hippotraginae-Caprinae group. It differs from Norbertia hellenica by its more primitive dentition, the greater separation between the bases of the horn cores, the decreased thickness of the frontal bone and the relatively smaller size of the horn cores. On décrit ici un nouveau capriné du Vallésien supérieur de La Roma 2 (bassin de Teruel, Aragon). Aragoral mudejar Gen.n., sp.n. est proche des formes primitives du groupe Hippotraginae-Caprinae. II est nettement différent de Norbertia hellenica par la denture plus primitive, les chevilles plus petites et à bases plus éloignées, et l'os frontal plus mince.
