Abstract
This study describes the first species of Charops Holmgren, 1859 from Brazil: C. angelicae sp. nov., C. eduardoi sp. nov., C. katiae sp. nov., C. lucianae sp. nov., C. mariae sp. nov., C. mucioi sp. nov. and C. terezae sp. nov. An emended diagnosis of this genus is presented, updated with characters observed in Brazilian species; its known geographical distribution is expanded and illustrated in distribution maps. High resolution images and a key for Brazilian species are also provided.
