Comments. Similar to Janeirona insignis and Janeirona vianai . Differs from J. insignis by the maximum head width across the mandibular plates subequal to half the head width across the eyes, mandibular plates with rounded apex and the inner margin concave anterior to clypeus, and antennomeres I not dilated, slightly surpassing the mandibular plates. Differs from J. vianai by the larger size, antennomeres I surpassing the mandibular plates, metasternum flat, and pygophore posterolateral angles with truncated apices.

Distribution: Argentina (Misiones), Brazil (Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Paraná, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul).
