Abstract

Three new species of Tetrapedia Klug, 1810 (Apidae) from Central Brazil are described and illustrated: Tetrapedia marina sp. nov., Tetrapedia tereza sp. nov., and Tetrapedia bruno sp. nov. Additionally, a key to the 22 species of Tetrapedia known from Brazil is provided. The lectotype of T. clypeata Friese is designated to establish the species name.
