We present new optical observations which unambiguously confirm this star to be an eclipsing magnetic system with an orbital period of 4() h 46() m. The photometric data are strongly modulated by ellipsoidal variations during low states which allow a system inclination of near 80 degrees to be determined. Our time-resolved optical spectra, which cover only about one-third of the orbital cycle, indicate the clear presence of a gas stream. During high states, EUVE J1429-38.0 shows ~ 1 mag deep eclipses and the apparent formation of a partial accretion disk. EUVE J1429-38.0 presents the observer with properties of both the AM Herculis and the DQ Herculis types of magnetic cataclysmic variable.
