Abstract
Three new genera and six new species of Pyrgodesmidae are described from a primary terra firme tropical rainforest patch near Manaus, Central Amazonia of Brazil: Adisella n.gen. with A. circularis n.sp. (the type species) and A. geniculata n.sp., Docodesmus hirudiformis n.sp., Tauricollarium n.gen. with T. biramosum n.sp. (the type species) and T. uniramosum n.sp., and Pse udoporatia n.gen. with P. perplexa n.sp. (the type species only). Myrmecode smus SILVESTRI, 1910 is considered as a senior subjective synonym of Gonogr aphis SCHUBART, 1945 (n.syn.), with M. hastata (SCHUBART, 1945), M. adisi ( HOFFMAN, 1985), M. minuscula (GOLOVATCH, 1996), and M. duodecimiobata (GOLO VATCH, 1996) formally reallocated therein (all n.comb.).
