Time-resolved spectroscopic observations of the cataclysmic variable PG 0917 + 342 which reveal it to be a novalike system with an orbital period of 104 minutes are presented. The spectra show lines of H, He I, and Ca I in absorption with variable emission cores, and H-alpha emission always above the continuum. Orbital parameters derived from the present radial velocity data indicate a system inclination of about 32 deg, M2 = 0.2 solar mass, and a likely, but not well determined, mass for the white dwarf of about 0.3 solar mass. PG 0917 + 342 appears to be the first nonmagnetic novalike star below the CV period gap.
