Abstract

The new genus Papiri gen. nov. is described to include the type species, Papiri caete sp. nov. (male, female), from the state of Pará and from Paraíba to northern Santa Catarina, P. cacau sp. nov. (male, female) from Pernambuco and Bahia, P. cabruca sp. nov. (male, female), from Bahia and P. tacomare sp. nov. (male, female) from Paraíba to southern Bahia, all in Brazil. All species are illustrated and photographed, a distribution map and an identification key are provided.
