It is shown that within conformally flat stationary axisymmetric spacetimes, besides of the static family, there exists a new class of metrics, which is always stationary and axisymmetric. All these spacetimes, the static and the stationary ones, are endowed with an arbitrary function depending on the two non--Killingian coordinates. The explicit form of this function can be determined once the coupled matter, i.e., the energy--momentum tensor is given. One might hope possible extensions of this result to black holes on two--branes in four dimensions.
