Abstract

The new northern South American genus Amazopimpla gen.n. and six new species (Amazopimpla errabunda sp.n. from Peru; Amazopimpla farallonensis sp.n. from Colombia; Amazopimpla guayanaensis sp.n. from Guayana; Amazopimpla lutea sp.n. from Colombia; Amazopimpla matogrossoensis sp.n. from Brazil and Amazopimpla taunoi sp.n. from Colombia and Peru) are described. An identification key and illustrations are provided as well as a short discussion of the species richness and distribution area of the genus.
