Abstract
Aedokritus platycnemis Edwards, previously known from northeastern Argentina, is redescribed based on holotype and additional material from Brazil. Axarus cordiformis sp. n. is described and figured, based on a male adult collected in Brazilian Amazon. Aedokritus coffeatus Trivinho-Strixino, Aedokritus souzalopesi Oliveira & Messias, Axarus globosus Donato, Mauad & Andersen, Axarus intervales Andersen, Mendes & Hagenlund and Axarus diabolicus Andersen, Mendes & Hagenlund have their distribution extended.
