Mielke & Casagrande, sp. n., from Brazil (Rio de Janeiro State). Tosta capra Austin, 1999, syn. n., and Tosta saltarana
Steinhauser, 2007, syn. n., are new synonyms of Iliana romulus Bell 1937. Two new genera are described: Austinus
Mielke & Casagrande, gen. n., type species: Echelatus heros Mabille & Boullet, 1917 and Emmelus Mielke & Casagrande, gen. n., type species: Telemiades purpurascens Mabille & Boullet, 1912. Lectotype for Echelatus heros Mabille & Boullet, 1917 and neotype for Telemiades purpurascens Mabille & Boullet, 1912 are designated.
