Photomorphus (Photomorphina) archboldi, a new species of mutillid wasp, is described, illustrated, and compared with other species of the genus Photomorphus. Males were collected in malaise traps and, based upon collection records, distribution appears to be restricted to central Florida. It is most easily distinguished by the conspicuous white legs. The female is unknown.
