Genus Apobaetis Day, 1955

The analysis of type material, literature review, consultation of specialist and review of the part of historical records allowed the recognition of three new species: Apobaetis pasternakae sp. nov. (former A. fiuzai ), Apobaetis jaquelinae sp. nov. (former A. fiuzai ) and Apobaetis luanae sp. nov. (former A. kallawaya ). Consequently, corrections were made to the species distribution records ( Fig. 1 ), restricting A. fiuzai outside the Amazon biome and A. kallawaya to Bolivia. The possibility of examining more than a few specimens allowed considerations of intraspecific variation.
