The sharpshooter genus Lebaziella is described and placed in the tribe Cicadellini. Two new species of Lebaziella gen.nov. are described and illustrated: the type-species L. renatae sp. nov. (Bahia State, Brazil) and L. viridis sp. nov. (Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Paraná States, Brazil). Species belonging to the new genus can be distinguished from other genera of Cicadellini based on the following characters: (1) pronotum narrower than head with lateral margin parallel; (2) male pygofer without processes; (3) subgenital plate longer than pygofer with many microsetae distributed across its surface; (4) aedeagus with an unpaired apical process, and (5) paraphyses absent.

The genus Magulla Simon 1892 is revalidated and redescribed. The female of the type species M. obesa Simon 1892 is redescribed and the male is described for the first time. Magulla janeirus (Keyserling 1891) is considered a valid species. Magulla symmetrica Bücherl 1949 is transferred to Plesiopelma Pocock 1901, and considered a junior synonym of P. insulare (Mello-Leitão 1923). Additionally, two new species are described from Brazil: M. buecherli n. sp. from Ilhabela, São Paulo and M. brescoviti n. sp. from São Francisco de Paula, Rio Grande do Sul.

Two new species of Myrcia from the Atlantic rainforest in southeastern Brazil, Myrcia congestiflora and Myrcia longipaniculata are here described and illustrated. Myrcia congestiflora occurs in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro states and is similar to Myrcia cerqueiria, differing by having densely sericeous indumentum (versus sparse and shorter trichomes), larger flowers and flower buds (flower buds with 3–4 mm versus 1.1 mm long) and by acute or obtuse calyx lobes rather than rounded. Myrcia longipaniculata is known for one collection from the boundary of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro differing from Myrcia spectabilis mainly by the longer inflorescence size (29 cm versus 3.5–21.5 cm long.) as well as for presenting a strong reddish or ferruginous indumentum (versus brown to yellowish).

Two new species of terebellid polychaetes are described, from material collected from the intertidal zone to 45 m deep off the State of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil. The thelepodine Pseudostreblosoma brevitentaculatum sp. nov., is characterised by short, distally expanded tentacles, the presence of a mid-ventral lobe on segment 1 and short lateral lobes on segments 2–4, and by the arrangement of branchial filaments. The species is compared to both other known species of the genus. The terebelline Phisidia rubra sp. nov. differs from its congeners by its smaller size, and by having up to four eyespots at each lateral margin of prostomium, close to the mouth, about 5 rows of secondary teeth above uncinial main fang, uncini arranged in double rows on segments 11–20, 14 pairs of notopodia and by anterior segments being dorsally inflated. Phisidia rubra sp. nov. is compared to its closest congeners and a table comparing all known species of Phisidia is provided.
