Abstract
A new species, Proaegeria murzini sp. n., is described and illustrated from a series of males and a female collected in the vicinities of Kindia, Guinea. The new species is well distinguished from the closest relative, Proaegeria vouauxi Le Cerf, 1916, by the colouration of the abdomen and the details of the structure of the hindwing. The study of the genital structures of both the male and the female of the new species unequivocally determines the systematic position of this genus in the tribe Sesiini.
