Abstract

Pseudosparna new genus is proposed to include four species: P. luteolineata new species (type species) from Equador, P. amoena new species and P. aragua new species from Venezuela, and P. flavipes (Bates, 1863) new combination, transferred from Lepturtrigona Gilmour, 1957. The four species are illustrated and keyed.
