Abstract

Pycnarmodes Becker gen. n. with two species from Brazil: Pycnarmodes auricolor Becker sp. n., and P. parallelographa Becker, sp. n., are described. Malleria argenteofulva Munroe, 1959, is transferred from the Musotiminae to the Midilinae. Diagnosis, key to species and illustrations of the two Pycnarmodes species and of M. argenteofulva are also presented.
