New species Tapinella mishevi sp. n. is described from French Guiana. The holotype female was collected from dry Cecropia leaves in a rainforest edge habitat near a road between Regina and St. George. The new species is most similar to T. fusca Badonnel, 1977 from Angola but differs in wing venation, eye coloration, and leg pigmentation. It also shares some characteristics with T. candida New, 1974 from Australia.
