Abstract

The new Ischnocolinae genus <i>Catumiri</i> is described. The species <i>Cenobiopelma argentinense</i> (Mello-Leitão, 1934), considered a junior synonym of <i>Oligoxystre Vellard</i>, 1924, is transferred to the present genus. Three new species are also described: <i>C. chicaoi</i> n. sp., from south of Bahia, Una; <i>C. petropolium</i> n. sp., from Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro (type species); and <i>C. uruguayense</i> n. sp., from Lavalleja, Uruguay. Diagnosis, zoogeographical distribution and an identification key are provided for all species.
