The genus Martarega comprises 15 species and nine of these have been recorded in northern Brazil. Martarega pydanieli sp. nov. from Rondonia, while Martarega nieseri sp. nov. and Martarega barcelos sp. nov. from Amazonas are described here. Six known species are recorded in the Brazilian Amazonian Region (Amazonas, Para, Rondonia and Roraima): Martarega brasiliensis, Martarega chinai, Martarega gonostyla, Martarega membranacea, Martarega oriximinaensis, and Martarega uruguayensis. At the outset of this survey the genus Martarega of the Brazilian Amazonian Region held 12 species, but no specimens of Martarega mcateei, Martarega hungerfordi, and Martarega williamsi were collected in the regions sampled. Martarega brasiliensis is newly recorded from Roraima, which comprises the first record of members of this genus in this State. Martarega uruguayensis is newly recorded from Para and Rondonia, while M. gonostyla from Rondonia. Distinct keys to males and females of Martarega occurring in this region, including these new species, are provided.
