Abstract

The genus Amazoneura is erected to contain A. ephippigera (Selys, 1886), A. westfalli (Machado, 2001) and A. juruaensis sp. nov. The new genus is close to Forcepsioneura Lencioni, 1999 but differs from it mainly by the poorly-developed postero-lateral tubercles of the medium prothoracic lobe, by the dark colour of the metepimerum and of the rear of the head. A. juruaensis sp. nov. (holotype male, Acre, Brazil) differs from the other two species of the genus mainly by the structure of the superior anal appendages.Criou-se o gênero Amazoneura para as espécies A. ephippigera (Selys, 1886), A. westfalli (Machado, 2001) e A. juruaensis sp. nov. O novo gênero é próximo de Forcepsioneura Lencioni, 1999 mas difere dele principalmente por ter o tubérculo postero-lateral do lobo médio do protórax pouco desenvolvido e pela cor escura do metepimero e da parte posterior da cabeça. A. juruaensis sp. nov. (holotipo macho, Acre, Brasil) difere das outras duas espécies do gênero principalmente pela estrutura dos apêndices anais superiores.
