Tricorythopsis yucupe sp. n. is distinguished by the pronotum with lateral margins expanded; forewing pads elevated just before apex and keel shaped; coxae with projections; femora with short setae; tarsal claws with three to five marginal denticles, and two rows of 1–2 + 1 submarginal denticles; dorsal tubercles present on terga 7–9; colour pattern. Tricorythopsis bahiensis sp. n. is distinguished by the wide femora bordered with long setae; tarsal claws with three or four marginal denticles, and two rows of 5 + 3–4 submarginal denticles; dorsal tubercles absent in abdominal segments; colour pattern.
