Manins Museu de Zoologia, Universidade de Sao Paulo C.P. 7172, 01064 Sao Paulo, SP, Brazil Abstract New species described: Antodice eccentrica, sp. n. and A. suturalis, sp. n., from Ecuador; Apagomeri1Uf, rubricollis, sp. n., from Brazil. New synonyms proposed.

The type species of Xenonta, X. eryhronota Lane, 1970, is transferred to Apagomeri1Uf,. Mariliana ocularis (Hope, 1846) is recorded for Argentina (Salta).
