Abstract
Two new species of Seira Lubbock (Entomobryidae), S. praiana sp. nov. and S. potiguara sp. nov., are described and illustrated. Both species were collected on Brazilian coast. S. praiana sp. nov. has some similarities with S. americana Jacquemart and S. nunezae Christiansen & Bellinger while S. potiguara sp. nov. resembles S. brasiliana (Arlé) and S. proannulata (Bonet) in some aspects of the dorsal distribution of the macrochaetae. Seira is a very specious genus in Brazil, and with the addition of S. praiana sp. nov. and S. potiguara sp. nov., the number of recorded species for the country increase to 24.
