Abstract The genus Jussara Mello-Leitão 1935, hitherto monotypic, with the species Jussara obesa Mello-Leitão 1935, is redefined to contain 15 species from Brazil. Eight species are transferred from other genera to Jussara, resulting in the new combinations: Jussara argentata for Holcobunus argentatus Roewer 1953; Jussara atra for Holcobunus ater Roewer 1910; Jussara aureopunctata for Prionostemma aureopunctatum Roewer 1953; Jussara lineata for Holcobunus lineatus Roewer 1953; Jussara luteovariata for Holcobunus luteovariatus Mello-Leitão 1932; Jussara marmorata for Garleppa marmorata Mello-Leitão 1934; Jussara quadrimaculata for Holcobunus quadrimaculatus Roewer 1953; Jussara rosea for Holcobunus roseus Mello-Leitão 1940. Six new species are herein described: Jussara albiarcuata, Jussara aurantiaca, Jussara avati, Jussara flamengo, Jussara taeniata and Jussara una. Holcobunus sigillatus Mello-Leitão 1944 is considered a junior subjective synonymy of Holcobunus luteovariatus Mello-Leitão 1932. A key to the species of Jussara is provided.
