| Abstract: | A new family (Macronicophilidae) is established for Macronicophilus Silvestri, 1909, currently placed in Geophilidae. Seven new species of Neotropical Geophilomorpha are described: ltyphilus saucius n.sp. and I. sensibilis n.sp. ( Ballophilidae), Hyphydrophilus projectus n.sp. and Ribautia onycophaena n.sp. (Geophilidae), Macronicophilus abbreviatus n.sp., M. unguiseta n.sp. and M. venezolanus n.sp. (Macronicophilidae). The hitherto unknown male of Schendylops marchantariae (Pereira, Minelli & Barbieri, 1995) is described and two species (Pectiniunguis geayi (Brölemann & Ribaut, 1911) and ltyphilus calinus Chamberlin, 1957 are redescribed from the type and new material. A key to the species of Macronicophilus is provided. |
