A new species of Glauconycteris is described using cranial and external morphology and morphometric data. The new species is found in Cameroon and Democratic Republic of Congo, and is associated with tropical forest. Comparisons are made with the sympatric species, G. beatrix (including G. b. humeralis) and G. alboguttatus, because of general similarities in size and colour. Glauconycteris sp. nov. differs through a combination of small size, lack of external markings and shape of skull.
