Abstract

Two new species are added to the rare pompilid genus Abernessia Arlé. Abernessia capixaba sp. n. and A.giga sp. n. are described and illustrated. This is the first record of the genus from the states of Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais, Brazil. The genus now contains four species. A brief discussion of generic characters, illustrations, and a key to the known species of Abernessia are provided.
