Abstract

The genera Ecclitura Kokujev and Streblocera Westwood are reported for the first time from Brazil. Three new species of the subfamily Euphorinae are described and illustrated: Ecclitura shawi sp. n., Marshiella tupi sp. n. and Streblocera brasiliana sp. n. These species are restricted to Atlantic forest remnants in southeastern Brazil.
