They are small-sized spiders (0.9 to 1.5\u00a0mm), with a wide distribution, with a great diversity in the Neotropical Region and well represented in Brazil. In this article, males and females of the species Tekellina bella Marques\u00a0&amp; Buckup, 1993 and T.\u00a0crica Marques\u00a0&amp; Buckup, 1993 are redescribed and illustrated. The female of Tekellina minor Marques\u00a0&amp; Buckup, 1993 is described and illustrated for the first time. New records are included for Neotropical species. Tekellina guaiba Marques\u00a0&amp; Buckup, 1993 is synonymized with T.\u00a0pretiosa Marques\u00a0&amp; Buckup, 1993. Three new species are described for Brazil: Tekellina picurrucha Rodrigues\u00a0&amp; Estol sp.\u00a0nov. (S\u00e3o Paulo, Paran\u00e1 and Rio Grande do Sul), Tekellina miuda Rodrigues\u00a0&amp; Estol sp.\u00a0nov. (S\u00e3o Paulo and Paran\u00e1) and Tekellina miudinha Rodrigues\u00a0&amp; Estol sp.\u00a0nov. (S\u00e3o Paulo). Distribution maps with new records and an identification key of the Neotropical species are also presented.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5852\/ejt.2024.943.2593","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,5]],"date-time":"2024-07-05T07:18:57Z","timestamp":1720163937000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["On the Neotropical species of the spider genus Tekellina Levi, 1957 (Arachnida: Araneae: Synotaxidae)"],"prefix":"10.5852","volume":"943","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9039-6728","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Narelle","family":"Estol","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4467-4547","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Victor Hugo","family":"Valiati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1511-5324","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antonio D.","family":"Brescovit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9814-0954","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Everton Nei Lopes","family":"Rodrigues","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"3904","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,5]]},"reference":[{"doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Agnarsson I. 2004.
