Graphipterus vignai n. sp. from kafue River, Lusaka, Zambia, is described. This new species belongs to the “Graphipteri diversitarsi” section (sensu Basilewsky, 1977) and seems closely related to G. lineolatus (Boheman, 1848), sharing part of its distribution area. It can be distinguished by the dorsal side of pygidium completely pubescent and the structure of the aedeagus.
