(Amazonas); Bebaiotes pennyi sp. nov. (Amazonas and Maranho); Bebaiotes tigrina sp. nov. (Amazonas); Bebaiotes wilsoni sp. nov. (Amazonas). In addition, four species were revised, and their distribution expanded: Bebaiotes banksi (Metcalf, 1938) (BrazilAmazonas and Par Panam Bebaiotes dorsivittata Fennah, 1947 (BrazilAmap, Amazonas, Par, Rondnia and Roraima; Ecuador; Peru; Bebaiotes guianesus (Fennah, 1947) (BrazilAmazonas; Guiana); Bebaiotes pulla Muir, 1934 (BrazilAcre and Amazonas; Ecuador).
