Abstract

Aglaenita Spinola and A. bipunctata Spinola are redescribed; the geographic distribution of the species is widened to Brazil (Mato Grosso). The taxonomic position of Aglaenita is also altered, now considered as belonging to Neocoelidiinae. The correct spelling of the generic name is discussed.
