Abstract
Tessaropa Haldeman, 1847 is considered a junior synonym of Methia Newman, 1842. Notes on Methia carioca (Martins, 1981) and M. elongata (Galileo & Martins, 2009) are provided. A new species, M. similis sp. nov., is described from Ecuador, becoming the second species of Methiini known in the country.
