Three new species of Collembola are described for Southeastern Brazil: Arrhopalites mendoncae sp. nov., Pararrhopalites queirozi sp. nov., and Coecobrya phoenix sp. nov. Although they were collected in caves and present characters such as absence of pigmentation, reduction or absence of eyes, and restriction to the local hypogean environment, none of them is troglobite. It is the first Coecobrya known from Brazil, the second species of the genus Arrhopalites with a trichobothrial complex angle superior to 160°, and the third species of the genus Pararrhopalites with three sensilla in the inter-antennal region. All species are named in honor of the Museu Nacional do Rio de Janeiro, and our colembologist colleagues, who recently had an entire collection destroyed by a fire of great proportions.
门东卡氏阿罗帕利跳虫（Arrhopalites mendoncae sp. nov.）、奎罗斯氏副阿罗帕利跳虫（Pararrhopalites queirozi sp. nov.）和凤凰柯克奥布跳虫（Coecobrya phoenix sp. nov.）。尽管它们是在洞穴中采集到的，且具有无色素沉着、眼睛退化或缺失以及局限于当地地下环境等特征，但它们都不是洞穴生物。这是巴西已知的首个柯克奥布跳虫属物种，是阿罗帕利跳虫属中第二个具毛窝复合角大于160°的物种，也是副阿罗帕利跳虫属中第三个在触角间区域有三根感器的物种。所有物种均以里约热内卢国家博物馆以及我们的弹尾目昆虫学家同事的名义命名，他们最近有一整个藏品毁于一场大火。
