It is characterized by the phallic apparatus being a simple tube with eversible internal sclerites at the apex. The <em>fasciatella</em> group is composed of 61 species, of which only 11 occur in Brazil, mainly in the Atlantic Forest biome in the southeastern region. In order to reduce the Linnean and Wallacean shortfalls for the Smicridea Brazilian fauna, we diagnose, describe, and illustrate males of six new species in the fasciatella group: <em>Smicridea</em> (<em>Smicridea</em>) <em>blahniki</em> Desiderio, Pes&nbsp;&amp; Hamada sp.&nbsp;nov.,<em> S.</em>&nbsp;(<em>Smicridea</em>) <em>brevitruncata</em> Desiderio, Pes &amp; Hamada sp. nov.,<em> S.&nbsp;</em>(<em>Smicridea</em>) <em>caaguara</em> Desiderio, Pes &amp; Hamada sp. nov., <em>S.</em>&nbsp;(<em>Smicridea</em>) <em>ipiranga</em> Desiderio, Pes &amp; Hamada sp. nov., <em>S.&nbsp;</em>(<em>Smicridea</em>) <em>jeaneae</em> Desiderio, Pes &amp; Hamada sp. nov., and <em>S.</em>&nbsp;(<em>Smicridea</em>) <em>polyacantha</em> Desiderio, Pes &amp;; Hamada sp. nov. Additionally, we provide distributional data for <em>S.&nbsp;</em>(<em>Smicridea</em>) <em>albosignata</em> Ulmer, 1907,<em> S.</em>&nbsp;(<em>Smicridea</em>) <em>bivittata</em> (Hagen, 1861), <em>S.</em>&nbsp;(<em>Smicridea</em>) <em>erecta</em> Flint, 1974, <em>S.&nbsp;</em>(<em>Smicridea</em>) <em>obliqua</em> Flint, 1974, <em>S.</em>&nbsp;(<em>Smicridea</em>) <em>paranensis</em> Flint, 1983, and<em> S.</em>&nbsp;(<em>Smicridea</em>) <em>sattleri</em> Denning &amp; Sykora, 1968. The number of<em> S.</em>&nbsp;(<em>Smicridea</em>) species in Brazil increases from 21 to 27 and <em>Smicridea</em> is recorded from the states of Acre, Amapá, and Sergipe for the first time.</p>}, number={1}, journal={European Journal of Taxonomy}, author={Desiderio, Gleison Robson and Pes, Ana Maria and Andrade-Souza, Vanderly and Hamada, Neusa}, year={2021}, month={May}, pages={156-196} }
