Climaciella Enderlein is a genus of the family Mantispidae (Neuroptera) restricted to the New World with records ranging from southern Canada to northern Argentina. The genus is currently represented by 12 valid species, three of them with records from Brazil: C. amapaensis Penny, C. duckei Navás, and C. semihyalina (Le Peletier & Audinet-Serville). Besides the relatively low number of species from Brazil, it is known that Climaciella species present some historical taxonomic problems. In this sense, the main goal of this study was to taxonomically revise the Climaciella species from Brazil, providing detailed (re)descriptions and illustrations of all species, an updated distribution map, and an identification key to the whole genus. The study resulted in some new taxonomic acts: C. tincta (Navás) is revalidated and C. duckei is considered a new synonym of C. tincta; two new species are described: Climaciella hoffmani sp. nov. and Climaciella pennyi sp. nov.
克利马西埃拉·恩德勒是一种生活在新大陆的螳蛉科(Neuroptera)昆虫,分布范围从加拿大南部到阿根廷北部。该属目前有 12 个有效物种,其中有 3 个在巴西有记录:C. amapaensis Penny、C. duckei Navás 和 C. semihyalina (Le Peletier & Audinet-Serville)。除了巴西物种数量相对较少之外,还已知克利马西埃拉物种存在一些历史分类问题。因此,本研究的主要目标是对巴西的克利马西埃拉物种进行分类修订,提供所有物种的详细(重新)描述和插图、更新的分布地图以及整个属的鉴别特征。该研究产生了一些新的分类学结果:C. tincta (Navás) 被重新确认为有效物种,C. duckei 被认为是 C. tincta 的新同义词;描述了两个新物种:克利马西埃拉·霍夫曼新种和克利马西埃拉·彭尼新种。
