Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The new genus Uaica gen. nov. is proposed to include five new species, the type species, Uaica uatuma gen. et sp. nov. (♂♀) and U. mapia gen. et sp. nov. (♂) from Amazonas, U. carapiranga gen. et sp. nov. (♂♀), from Pará, U. karipuna gen. et sp. nov. (♂) from Rondônia and U. juruena gen. et sp. nov. (♀), from Mato Grosso, all from the Brazilian Amazonia. The new genus seems to be closely related to Caayguara Rheims, 2010, Meri Rheims & Jäger, 2022, Nungara Pinto & Rheims, 2016, and Sadala Simon, 1880. All species are described and illustrated, and a distribution map is provided.
