Abstract
Two new genera are proposed in Lonchopriini, a tribe of the neopasiphaeine line in the Colletinae. The new genus Camposapis (type-species: Leioproctus larejae Compagnucci & Roig-Alsina, 2008) is proposed to accommodate a distinct lineage from Argentina and Brazil. The new genus Silveirapis (type-species: Lonchopria robertsi Michener, 1989) is proposed for a lineage previously placed in Biglossa sensu Michener, but which came out as sister-group of Ctenosibyne Moure based on molecular evidence. In addition, Biglossidia solanophila is proposed as a replacement name for Rhinetula chalybaea Friese, 1922 due to homonymy with Biglossidia chalybaea (Friese, 1906). Lectotype designations are also proposed for Biglossa thoracica Friese, 1906 and Biglossa chalybaea Friese, 1906.
Highlights
MethodsThe studied specimens belong to the DZUP – Coleção Entomológica Pe. Jesus Santiago Moure, Department of Zoology, Universidade Federal do Paraná, Curitiba, Brazil, and to the ZMB – Museum für Naturkunde, Berlin, Germany
A total of seven genera were recognized: Aeganopria, Biglossa, Biglossidia, Ctenosibyne, Lonchoprella Michener, Lonchopria and Porterapis Michener. This classification was followed in MOURE ET AL. (2007)

Summary
The studied specimens belong to the DZUP – Coleção Entomológica Pe. Jesus Santiago Moure, Department of Zoology, Universidade Federal do Paraná, Curitiba, Brazil, and to the ZMB – Museum für Naturkunde, Berlin, Germany. The general morphological terminology follows URBAN (1967), SILVEIRA ET AL. (2002), and MICHENER (2007). The genus descriptions follow the format and character numbering used by MICHENER (1989). The color images were obtained on a camera Leica DFC295 associated to a stereomicroscope Leica M125 (DZUP) or on a camera Nikon Coolpix 995 attached to a stereomicroscope Leica MZ7 (ZMB). Image stacking was carried out in the software Zerene
