A new genus and two new species from Brazil (Amazon Region) are described and illustrated: Cumaru Casari, Cumaru flabellicornis Casari, and Cumaru pectinicornis Casari (type species of the genus). The new genus is characterized mainly by the antenna with 12 antennomeres and lamellate tarsomeres 1–3 on the anterior and median legs and tarsomere 3 on the posterior legs. A revised key to the Neotropical genera of Dicrepidiina and comparisons with Cumaru are presented.
