Abstract
Two new species of Neotropical Geophilomorpha are described: Ribautia combinata n. sp. from Peru and R. donatellae n. sp. from Brazil. New records from Amazonia are given for R. ducalis Pereira, Minelli & Barbieri, 1995. R. proxima Pereira, Minelli & Barbieri, 1994 is recorded for the first time from Guyane française. Schizoribautia Brölemann, 1912 is synonymized under Ribautia Brölemann, 1909, syn. nov.References
