Abstract

Amanayara de Mello & Jacomini, 1994 was described with two species, both from Atlantic Forest remnants, in São Paulo State, Brazil. Here we describe three new species (Amanayara ribasi sp. nov., Amanayara bernardesi sp. nov., Amanayara helenae sp. nov.) from forest remnants in Minas Gerais State, Brazil. This is the first record of this genus for Minas Gerais. We present a key for the genus, with thorough illustration of genitalia morphological characters used in the key. Together with descriptions of the three new species, also present distribution map, photograph of the types, illustration of female terminalia and comparative illustration of male genitalia from all species of the genus.
