Pachycheles attaragos, new species, is described from two males from the Hawaiian Islands. The species is characterized by a relatively elongated, tufted carapace; carapace sidewalls with a large anterior piece but only a single vestigial posterior fragment; subequal chelae with a distinctive carpus margin; and third maxillipeds with an acutely triangular meral lobe.
