(Tocantins and Gois, Cerrado biome), N. papaveroi sp. nov. (Mato Grosso, Cerrado biome) and N. tingua sp. nov. (Rio de Janeiro, Atlantic Forest biome). Additionally, N. orbicularis Becker, previously known only from the type-locality in Paraguay, is newly recorded from the Brazilian States of Mato Grosso do Sul (Pantanal biome) and So Paulo (Atlantic Forest biome) and its hypopygium is also illustrated. An updated identification key to males of the orbicularis-group is provided.
