A new species of Cunaxidae, namely Pulaeus mormacensis Wurlitzer & Silva sp. nov., is described and illustrated based on females and males collected in soil and leaf litter in the Atlantic rainforest biome in a rural forest fragment in Mormaço and Putinga municipalities, Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil. In addition, we report for the first time and illustrate Coleoscirus tuberculatus Den Heyer from Brazil.
