Abstract
Six new species of Bennarella Muir, 1930 viz. B. guidai sp. nov., B. henriquesi sp. nov., B. maculipennis sp. nov., B. rafaeli sp. nov., B. vittata sp. nov. and B. xavieri sp. nov., are described and illustrated. An updated description of B. bicoloripennis Muir and B. fusca Muir, together with illustrations, pictures, and new data of records, are provided. Additionally, an identification key to males and females of the species is provided.
