Abstract

A new species belonging to the subgenus Laevivilga is described, as well as the female of Vilga (L.) sanctipauli and male of V. (L.) brasiliensis that were unknown until now. We complement original descriptions, update the distribution records and include the new species in the Dolling’s identification key to species of Vilga.
