We observed the new intermediate polar RX J0558+53 withthe 4.2m WHT in March 1995. We detect 2–3%% pulsations of the He ɪɪ emission line on the 545s spin period. The spin-resolved Hell spectrogram shows a complex structure with two roughly anti-phased components moving from red to blue (double pulse). This is most likely produced by non-axisymmetric gas flow in the rotating magnetosphere of the white dwarf.
