Abstract
Guaranyperla g.n. from Brazil is described. The genus is defined by some autapomorphies, especially of the nymphs, viz., the expanded paranota and a body covering of vesicular hairs, both unique in the family. The type species is G. guapiara sp.n.; other described species are G. beckeri sp.n. and G. nitens sp.n.; a few unassociated nymphs are also considered. The genus occurs in southeastern Brazil.
