Abstract
In addition to the six species of Xiphocentron Brauer, 1870 currently recorded in Brazil, two new species of X. (Antillotrichia) are described and illustrated in this work: X. (Antillotrichia) acqualume n. sp. and X. (Antillotrichia) jaguare n. sp. Caddisflies in the genus Xiphocentron usually present diurnal activity and are not readily attracted to lights. However, all species included here were collected using light traps during nighttime. The new species can be easily distinguished by having a small cell enclosing the nigma on the forewing. The specimens were collected in the Parque Nacional da Serra da Canastra, a significant mountain range located in the state of Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil.http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:3DBCFECD-7CBD-4A80-9A3C-9C2FCD8FCEA1
