Abstract

The genus Tarema Schaus, 1896 is revised. The species T. fuscosa Jones, 1908 and T. rivara Schaus, 1896 are redescribed, the female of the former is described and figured for the first time, and the genitalia of both sexes for each species are figured for the first time. The lectotype of Tarema macarina Schaus, 1928, syn. n. is determined to be the female of T. rivara. Tarema bruna sp. n. is described from São Paulo, Brazil. Lectotypes for T. fuscosa, T. rivara, and T. macarina are here designated.
