Abstract

The new genus Metapelopia is established for species of Pentaneurini from the southeast Brazil. Generic diagnoses for larva, pupa and adult male are provided together with descriptions of all life stages of the new species Metapelopia corbii. The pupa and larva of an additional species in Metapelopia is described, but not formally named. In addition, keys to the males, pupae and larvae of genera in the Thienemannimyia group are provided.
