Phytoliriomyza Hendel is an enigmatic genus of leaf miners that is poorly known from the Brazilian fauna. This paper describes six new species: Phytoliriomyza flabellulata sp. nov., Phytoliriomyza flavolinea sp. nov., Phytoliriomyza galheirana sp. nov., Phytoliriomyza obscurita sp. nov., Phytoliriomyza perspicua sp. nov., and Phytoliriomyza velutifrons sp. nov., and report new records for Phytoliriomyza lurida Spencer and Phytoliriomyza imperfecta (Malloch). We also provide an identification key to the Brazilian Phytoliriomyza species, along with images of adults and terminalia, and a distribution map.

Psyllobora Chevrolat is a New World genus of mycophagous coccinellids with over 80 species. Only four species have been recorded in French Guiana (P. bowringii Crotch; P. confluens Fabricius; P. marshalli Crotch; and P. intricata Mulsant). This study increases this number to eleven species: the four previously known; five new records for the country (P. balinti Almeida; P. consistoides Mader; P. divisa (Fabricius); P. lutescens Crotch; and P. sosia Almeida & Marinoni) and two new species (P. almeidae Basílio & Churata, sp. nov. and P. seag Basílio & Churata, sp. nov.).
