A new species of the genus <i>Multinervis</i> Li & Li, 2013, <i>Multinervisphongdienensis</i> <b>sp. nov.</b>, is described from two locations in Central Vietnam, Thưa Thien-Hue Province: Bach Ma National Park and Phong Dien District.

Illustrations, a differential diagnosis to distinguish the two <i>Multinervis</i> species and a distribution map are provided. <i>Multinervisphongdienensis</i> <b>sp. nov.</b> is characterized by the absence of forewing crossveins in the claval region, the reduced subgenital plates being almost entirely fused, the absence of a subgenital angular projection and the unusual lateral flanges of the male connective.
