Abstract

Three new species of Neotropiella Handschin, 1942 are described from Southeastern Brazil. Remarks are made in respect to the diagnosis of the genus and some of the species described up to date. The species Neotropiella barbatae sp. nov. and N. macunaimae sp. nov. belong to a complex of species with serrated chaetae. The other new species, N. insularis sp. nov., is the second of the genus that has bi- or trilobed vesicles on the PAO. Observations on the chaetotaxy of Abd VI of the new species can bring new insights to the taxonomy of the genus. A comparative table including all the species described to date is provided.
