Abstract
Nannicerus Maldonado-Capriles, 1977, a previously monotypic genus known from Guyana, is newly recorded from Brazil based on specimens of N. gracilis Maldonado-Capriles, 1977 and two new species from Amazonas State, namely: N. curica sp. nov. and N. grandis sp. nov. A key to species is provided.
