Abstract
This study presents a review of Catrimania, including the redescriptions of C. insignis, C. longula, and C. semivitrea, as well as the description of four new species distributed across Brazil and Peru. Distribution maps for the species were provided. C. albifascia is recorded for the first time in Brazil. The new species are illustrated, and an identification key to species in the genus is provided.
