Systematics of the genus Itauara Müller, 1888 are reviewed. A generic diagnosis, illustrations, and descriptions are provided for males. The genus can be identified by several features of the male genitalia including an extremely reduced phallobase and a phallic apparatus that consists of a sclerotized dorsal sheath covering a very membranous ventral portion. A total 18 species are described as new: Itauara alexanderisp. n.(Brazil), Itaura bidentatasp. n. (Guyana), Itaura blahnikisp. n. (Brazil) Itaura charlottasp. n. (Brazil), Itaura emiliasp. n. (Brazil), Itaura flintisp. n. (Brazil), Itaura guyanensissp. n. (Guyana), Itaura jamesiisp. n. (Brazil), Itaura juliasp. n. (Brazil), Itaura lucindasp. n. (Brazil), Itaura ovissp. n. (Guyana, Venezuela), Itaura peruensissp. n. (Peru), Itaura rodmanisp. n. (Brazil), Itaura simplexsp. n. (Brazil), Itaura spiralissp. n. (Guyana), Itaura stellasp. n. (Brazil), Itaura tuscisp. n. (Brazil), and Itaura unidentatasp. n. (Guyana). These additions bring the total fauna of Itauara to 22 species.
对1888年穆勒所定的伊陶拉属(Itauara)进行了系统分类学综述。给出了该属的总体诊断、图示及雄性的描述。该属可通过雄性生殖器的几个特征来识别,包括极度退化的阳茎基以及由硬化的背鞘覆盖非常膜质的腹侧部分组成的阳茎结构。共描述了18个新物种:亚历山大伊陶拉(Itauara alexanderi)新种(巴西)、双齿伊陶拉(Itaura bidentata)新种(圭亚那)、布拉尼克伊陶拉(Itaura blahniki)新种(巴西)、夏洛特伊陶拉(Itaura charlotta)新种(巴西)、埃米莉亚伊陶拉(Itaura emilia)新种(巴西)、弗林特伊陶拉(Itaura flinti)新种(巴西)、圭亚那伊陶拉(Itaura guyanensis)新种(圭亚那)、詹姆西伊陶拉(Itaura jamesii)新种(巴西)、朱莉娅伊陶拉(Itaura julia)新种(巴西)、露辛达伊陶拉(Itaura lucinda)新种(巴西)、奥维斯伊陶拉(Itaura ovis)新种(圭亚那、委内瑞拉)、秘鲁伊陶拉(Itaura peruensis)新种(秘鲁)、罗德曼伊陶拉(Itaura rodmani)新种(巴西)、单纯伊陶拉(Itaura simplex)新种(巴西)、螺旋伊陶拉(Itaura spiralis)新种(圭亚那)、斯泰拉伊陶拉(Itaura stella)新种(巴西)、图斯克伊陶拉(Itaura tuscis)新种(巴西)以及单齿伊陶拉(Itaura unidentata)新种(圭亚那)。这些新增物种使伊陶拉属的动物种类总数达到22种。
