Amydetinae is an exclusively Neotropical subfamily of fireflies, distributed among three genera: Illiger, 1807, McDermott, 1964, and Silveira & Mermudes, 2013. Here, we describe three new species of Amydetinae: two belonging to ( and ) and one to the previously monotypic ( ). All three species are known only from the Atlantic Forest in southeastern Brazil. Endoskeletal structures of and species are described and compared with those of for the first time. After studying the type material, Pic, 1942 is transferred to , generating , and Silveira & Mermudes, 2013 is placed as a junior synonym. We also redescribe Olivier, 1885 and compare it to other species of genus and to other amydetine taxa to identify potential new diagnostic traits for the Amydetinae and its constituting genera. We provide an updated diagnosis for , illustrations for all four species, and a distribution map for the three new species, as well as a key to adult males of the three amydetine genera, and an updated key to species based on males.
阿迈萤亚科是萤科中一个仅分布于新热带区的亚科，分布在三个属中：伊利格属（1807年）、麦克德莫特属（1964年）以及西尔韦拉和梅尔穆德斯属（2013年）。在此，我们描述了阿迈萤亚科的三个新物种：两个属于（属名未给出），一个属于之前单型的（属名未给出）。这三个物种仅在巴西东南部的大西洋森林被发现。首次对（属名未给出）和（属名未给出）物种的内骨骼结构进行了描述，并与（属名未给出）的内骨骼结构进行了比较。在研究了模式标本后，1942年的皮克种被转移到（属名未给出），形成了（新组合名称未给出），2013年的西尔韦拉和梅尔穆德斯种被列为次异名。我们还重新描述了1885年的奥利维耶种，并将其与该属的其他物种以及其他阿迈萤类群进行比较，以确定阿迈萤亚科及其组成属潜在的新诊断特征。我们提供了（属名未给出）的最新诊断、所有四个物种的插图、三个新物种的分布图，以及三个阿迈萤属成年雄性的检索表，还有基于雄性的（属名未给出）物种的最新检索表。
