Abstract

The genus Chelonuropoda is reviewed and a key to the known species is given. Three new species (Chelonuropoda banari sp. nov., Chelonuropoda canalitica sp. nov. and Chelonuropoda brasiliana sp. nov.) are described and illustrated. Three Oplitis species (Oplitis athiasae Hirschmann and Zirngiebl-Nicol, Citation1973; Oplitis similibispirata Hirschmann and Zirngiebl-Nicol, Citation1973 and Oplitis nicolae Hirschmann, Citation1991) are transferred to the genus Chelonuropoda as new combinations.
