Microvelia picinguaba sp. nov., Microvelia ubatuba sp. nov., Paravelia gabrielae sp. nov. and Rhagovelia pseudotijuca sp. nov. are described. The male of Microvelia ioana is described. Microvelia mimula and Microvelia aemulana are synonymized. Microvelia hinei, M. ioana, Microvelia longipes, Microvelia pulchella, Microvelia venustatis, Oiovelia brasiliensis, Oiovelia cunucunumana, Paravelia basalis, Paravelia itatiayana, Rhagovelia denticulata, Rhagovelia hambletoni, Rhagovelia janeira, Rhagovelia robusta, Rhagovelia tenuipes, Rhagovelia zela and Stridulivelia ayacucho are recorded for the first time from São Paulo State. New locality records are given for Husseyella diffidens, Rhagovelia accedens, Rhagovelia aiuruoca, Rhagovelia henryi, Rhagovelia lucida, Rhagovelia modesta, Rhagovelia occulcata, Rhagovelia trepida and Rhagovelia triangula.
