Abstract

Psyllobora Chevrolat is a New World genus of mycophagous coccinellids with over 80 species. Only four species have been recorded in French Guiana (P. bowringii Crotch; P. confluens Fabricius; P. marshalli Crotch; and P. intricata Mulsant). This study increases this number to eleven species: the four previously known; five new records for the country (P. balinti Almeida; P. consistoides Mader; P. divisa (Fabricius); P. lutescens Crotch; and P. sosia Almeida & Marinoni) and two new species (P. almeidae Basílio & Churata, sp. nov. and P. seag Basílio & Churata, sp. nov.).
