Abstract
Two new species of Atrichopogon, A. nukini and A. shawadaua, are described and illustrated based on male and female specimens from northern Brazil. The new species are compared to other ten species of Neotropical Atrichopogon which have distinctive pigmented wings, and a key to males of these species is provided.
