Abstract

Three new species of Catharosoma are described from southern Brazil: Catharosoma pedritense n. sp., Catharosoma promatense n. sp., and Catharosoma ibirapuitense n. sp.. New records of three other Catharosoma species, which considerably extend their distributions, are provided, including a redescription of the hitherto particularly poorly-known species Catharosoma intermedium (Carl, 1902).
