The Brazilian fauna of Lestidae contains two genera (Archilestes Selys, 1862 and Lestes Leach in Brewster, 1815) with 14 species, many of which are poorly defined and/or known only by primary literature. To improve the knowledge of the Brazilian species of the genus Lestes we examined 97 specimens pertaining to 11 of the 13 described species. Additionally, a new species is described here in honor to Prof. Dr. Paulo De Marco Júnior: Lestes demarcoi (Holotype and Allotype: Brazil: Amazonas, Manaus, Reserva Adolpho Ducke, Acará trail, 02º55'46" S 59º58'22" W, 62 m, 13.iv.2009, collected in tandem, U.G. Neiss leg. and deposited in FAAL). Diagnostic illustrations of all species are provided. Color photographs of live individuals of Lestes dichrostigma Calvert, 1909, Lestes forficula Rambur, 1842 and Lestes paulistus Calvert, 1909 are also presented.
巴西的 Lestidae 动物群包含两个属（Archilestes Selys，1862 和 Lestes Leach in Brewster，1815），共有 14 个物种，其中许多物种定义不明确，或者仅在主要文献中有所记载。为了提高对巴西 Lestes 属物种的认识，我们检查了 97 个标本，涉及 13 个描述物种中的 11 个。此外，这里还描述了一个新物种，以纪念 Paulo De Marco Júnior 教授：Lestes demarcoi（模式标本和正模标本：巴西：亚马逊州，玛瑙斯，Adolpho Ducke 保护区，Acará 小径，02°55'46"S 59°58'22"W，62 米，13.iv.2009，用串联法采集，U.G. Neiss 采集，保存在 FAAL）。提供了所有物种的鉴别图。还展示了活的 Lestes dichrostigma Calvert，1909、Lestes forficula Rambur，1842 和 Lestes paulistus Calvert，1909 个体的彩色照片。
