Syssphinx fabiolae Naumann, Nogueira & Nassig, sp. n., a new species from Jalisco and Colima, Mexico, is described, figured and compared with its closest relative, S. modena Dyar, 1913. The male holotype and a female paratype are deposited in the Coleccion Nacional de Insectos, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, Mexico City. The new species is quite well defined in morphology and mtDNA COI barcode data. The partial misinterpretation of populations of "S. modena" from Jalisco and Colima in literature is pointed out; specimens from those areas in fact belong to S. fabiolae sp. n. An overview (with map) of the known localities of both taxa is provided.
