Abstract

We describe the first species of Achilixiidae from Brazil with representatives of Bebaiotes. Eight new species of Bebaiotes Muir, 1924 were described viz. Bebaiotes amazonica sp. nov. (Amazonas, Pará, Rondônia and Roraima); Bebaiotes bia sp. nov. (Acre); Bebaiotes dichromata sp. nov. (Amazonas); Bebaiotes macroptera sp. nov. (Amazonas and Amapá); Bebaiotes parallela sp. nov. (Amazonas); Bebaiotes pennyi sp. nov. (Amazonas and Maranhão); Bebaiotes tigrina sp. nov. (Amazonas); Bebaiotes wilsoni sp. nov. (Amazonas). In addition, four species were revised, and their distribution expanded: Bebaiotes banksi (Metcalf, 1938) (Brazil–Amazonas and Pará; Panamá); Bebaiotes dorsivittata Fennah, 1947 (Brazil–Amapá, Amazonas, Pará, Rondônia and Roraima; Ecuador; Peru; Bebaiotes guianesus (Fennah, 1947) (Brazil–Amazonas; Guiana); Bebaiotes pulla Muir, 1934 (Brazil–Acre and Amazonas; Ecuador). Additionally, an identification key to males and females of the species is provided.
