Abstract

This contribution describes a new genus and three new species of Agraeciini from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, Warimiri madiba gen. et sp. nov., Warimiri zumbi gen. et sp. nov., and Warimiri karutasywa gen. et sp. nov.. The new genus resembles the genera Hyperomerus Redtenbacher and Dectinomima Caudell and probably is closely related to them, but the internal and external male genitalia components distinguish the three taxa. We also provide a brief comment about the function of the internal components of the phallic complexes of Warimiri gen. nov. and Hyperomerus.
