Abstract
Two new species of Diplura C. L. Koch 1850 are described from Brazil: Diplura mapinguarisp. n., from the state of Rondônia in southeastern Amazonia, northern Brazil, and Diplura rodrigoisp. n., known from southeastern and central west regions of Brazil. Diplura rodrigoisp. n. is morphologically similar to D. lineata (Lucas, 1857), D. sanguinea (F. O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1896), and D. mapinguarisp. n. Comments on diagnostic characters of Diplura are included. The synonymy of D. maculata (Mello-Leitão, 1927) with D. catharinensis (Mello-Leitão, 1923) is corroborated. A classification of color pattern of the dorsum of the abdomen is given.
