Three new species of orb-weaver spider are described from Paraguay. Kaira mbywangiae sp. nov. has a remarkable complexity of abdominal humps and hump regions. Two species are described from the Humid Chaco flooded wetland region of Ñeembucú (Eustala davalosae sp. nov. and Kaira mbywangiae sp. nov.), and one from an Atlantic rainforest fragment in eastern Itapuá (Mangora sandovalae sp. nov.).
