We report the discovery of a new, non-eclipsing SU UMa-type dwarf nova,
HS 2219+1824. Photometry obtained in quiescence (
)
reveals a double-humped light curve from which we derive an orbital
period of 
86.2 min. Additional photometry obtained during a
superoutburst reaching 
clearly shows superhumps with a
period of 89.05 min. The optical spectrum contains
double-peaked Balmer and He I emission lines from the accretion
disc as well as broad absorption troughs of 
, 
, and 
from the white dwarf primary star. Modelling of the optical spectrum implies
a white dwarf temperature of
, a distance of
, and suggests that the
spectral type of the donor star is later than M 5. Phase-resolved
spectroscopy obtained during quiescence reveals a narrow 
emission
line component which has a radial velocity amplitude and phase
consistent with an origin on the secondary star, possibly on the
irradiated hemisphere facing the white dwarf. This constitutes the first detection of line emission from the secondary star in a quiescent SU UMa star.

Based in part on observations obtained at the German-Spanish Astronomical Center, Calar Alto, operated by the Max-Planck-Institut für Astronomie, Heidelberg, jointly with the Spanish National Commission for Astronomy; on observations made with the IAC80 and OGS telescopes, operated on the island of Tenerife by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) and the European Space Agency (ESA), respectively, in the Spanish Observatorio del Teide of the IAC; on observations made at the 1.2 m telescope, located at Kryoneri Korinthias, and owned by the National Observatory of Athens, Greece; and on observations made with the William Herschel Telescope, which is operated on the island of La Palma by the Isaac Newton Group in the Spanish Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos of the IAC.
