Notes: Here, the authors describe two new species, Cerradococcus gillianwatsonae and Philephedra paralutea, and fully illustrate them with photographs and line drawings. A new genus is erected to accommodate the first species. Diagnoses for both genera are included, and a recently described species, Philephedra zipolitana Gavrilov-Zimin, 2023 from Mexico, is synonymized. An updated taxonomic key to all the species of Philephedra is provided. https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5763.2.4
