Two new species of Seira, Seira tinguira sp. nov. and Seira paulae sp. nov. from Atlantic Rainforest Phytogeographic Domain in Paraná State, southern Brazil, are described and illustrated, with dorsal chaetotaxy labeled in detail. The general morphology of S. tinguira sp. nov. resembles S. frater (Bonet) and S. oceanica Yosii, however differs by chaeta Pa4 present in head, three extra macrochaetae (m1i2, p1i2 and one extranumerary) in mesothorax; four (a3, p2e, p2ea and a4) in metathorax; one (m3ep) in the second abdominal segment , among other morphological features. Seira paulae sp. nov. is similar to S. atrolutea (Arlé) in body colour, however dorsal chaetoxy resembles S. mendoncea Bellini & Zeppelini and S. ritae Bellini & Zeppelini. On the other hand, the new species clearly differs from other similar taxa by the presence of cephalic macrochaeta M2; three macrochaetae (M2, M1 and M2i) in mesothorax and p2p as microchaeta; one extra macrochaeta (p1i) in metathorax and two (a1 and p2ea) as macro or microchaetae; macrochaeta m3ep missing in the second abdominal segment; macrochaeta am6 present in the third abdominal segment among other features. Seira tinguira sp. nov. was found in different habitats of Paraná State while S. paulae sp. nov. was recorded only in its type locality. A distribution map is provided for both species. With the presented description there are now four recorded species of Seira from south Brazil.
描述并图示了来自巴西南部巴拉那州大西洋雨林植物地理区的两个新种，即廷吉拉塞拉螨（Seira tinguira sp. nov.）和保拉塞拉螨（Seira paulae sp. nov.），并详细标注了背毛序。廷吉拉塞拉螨新种的总体形态与兄弟塞拉螨（Seira frater (Bonet)）和海洋塞拉螨（Seira oceanica Yosii）相似，但在头部有Pa4刚毛、中胸有三根额外的大刚毛（m1i2、p1i2和一根额外的）、后胸有四根（a3、p2e、p2ea和a4）、第二腹节有一根（m3ep）等形态特征上有所不同。保拉塞拉螨新种在体色上与黄褐塞拉螨（Seira atrolutea (Arlé)）相似，但其背毛序类似于门东塞拉螨（Seira mendoncea Bellini & Zeppelini）和丽塔塞拉螨（Seira ritae Bellini & Zeppelini）。另一方面，新种与其他相似类群明显不同之处在于有头部大刚毛M2；中胸有三根大刚毛（M2、M1和M2i）且p2p为微刚毛；后胸有一根额外的大刚毛（p1i）以及两根（a1和p2ea）为大刚毛或微刚毛；第二腹节缺少大刚毛m3ep；第三腹节有大刚毛am6等特征。廷吉拉塞拉螨新种在巴拉那州的不同栖息地被发现，而保拉塞拉螨新种仅在其模式产地有记录。提供了这两个物种的分布图。随着本描述的发表，巴西南部现在有四个已记录的塞拉螨物种。
