Abstract
Eight species of Kempnyia Klapálek were collected in the Mantiqueira Mountains at Campos do Jordão, of which six were known: K. colossica (Navás, 1934), K. flava Klapálek, 1916, K. neotropica (Jacobson and Bianchi, 1905), K. obtusa Klapálek, 1916, K. reichardti Froehlich, 1984 and K. tamoya Froehlich, 1984; two are new, K. pirata and K. tupinamba. One new synonymy is proposed. Comments are provided for all species from the area and a key to these species is presented.References
