Abstract Elasmothemis rufa sp. nov. (holotype: Venezuela, Amazonas, Rio Cataniapo), Macrotbemis taurepan sp. nov. (holotype: Venezuela, Bolivar, El Pauji), and Oligoclada garrisoni sp. nov. (holotype: Venezuela: Amazonas, San Fernando de Atabapo) are described and illustrated. All holotypes are deposited at MIZA.
