The existence of a new periodic solution for the planar four-body (rhomboidal) problem with equal masses is formally established in the special form of two identical star-shaped simple closed curves. It is proved that the action functional attains its infimum, while the minimizing orbits do not intersect collision manifolds. The author also examines the geometric properties of orbits, the existence and properties of minimizers, and the rhomboidal nature of motions.
