The Neuroleon species of sub-Saharan West Africa are reviewed. Eight species are recorded: N. drosimus Navas, N. lapidarius nov. sp., N. modestus (Navas), N. nubilatus (Navas), N. rapax nov. sp., N. raptor nov. sp., N. pardalice (Banks), and N. ruber nov. sp. A ninth species, N. nigericus Navas, of which no specimens could be examined, is tentatively maintained in the genus Neuroleon pending examination of the type. Three new synonymies are established. Seven species are removed from the genus Neuroleon. N. pardalice is recorded from the region for the first time. The species are illustrated and keyed.
