Abstract
Japanagromyza Sasakawa (Diptera, Agromyzidae) is poorly known from Brazil, with only three species recorded. This contribution increases the knowledge of the genus in Brazil, where two new species are described and illustrations of male and female adults and terminalia are presented. The material was collected in Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul and Rondonia states and is deposited in the collections of Museu de Zoologia, Universidade de Sao Paulo and Museu Nacional, Universidade do Rio de Janeiro.
