Zusammenfassung: | We report the discovery of one unique cataclysmic variable drawn from the Hamburg Quasar Survey, HS 2331 + 3905. Follow-up observations obtained over three years unveiled a very unusual picture. The large amplitude 3.5 h radial velocity variations obtained from our optical spectroscopy is not the orbital period of the system, as one would normally expect. Instead, extensive CCD photometry strongly suggests that HS 2331 + 3005 is a short orbital period cataclysmic variable with

Informamos sobre el descubrimiento de la única variable cataclísmica enana procedente del Hamburg Quasar Survey. HS 2331 + 3905. Las observaciones obtenidas durante tres años nos revelan un esquema inusual. La gran amplitud de 3.5 h de las variaciones en velocidad radial obtenidas a partir de espectroscopía óptica no es el período orbital del sistema, como se esperaría normalmente. Роr el contrario, fotometría CCD extensiva, sugiere fuertemente que HS 2331 + 3005 es una variable cataclísmica de corto periodo orbital con un
