Smicridea (Smicridea) mocidade Desidério & Rázuri‐Gonzales, sp. nov., Smicridea (Smicridea) santosi Desidério & Rázuri‐Gonzales, sp. nov. and Smicridea (Smicridea) tepequensis Desidério & Rázuri‐Gonzales, sp. nov. can be recognised mainly by the morphology of the phallic apparatus. New distributional records are provided for Smicridea (Smicridea) caatinga Alves et al., 2018, Smicridea (Smicridea) franciscana Rocha et al., 2016, Smicridea (Smicridea) mirnae Almeida & Flint, 2002 and Smicridea (Smicridea) palifera Flint, 1981. Smicridea (Smicridea) cornuta Flint, 1974 is recorded for the first time from Brazil.
