Abstract

The new species Liogenys moroni n. sp., collected in the Cerrado of central Brazil, is described. Two related species, L. pilosipennis Moser, 1918 and L. hirtipennis Frey, 1969 are redescribed, based on characters of the external morphology and male genitalia. Figures of every species including diagnostic characters are provided. Differences between the new Liogenys and the two related species reported from Brazil are discussed.
