We describe a new genus, Atlantopteryx gen. nov., containing two new species, Atlantopteryx parva gen. et sp. nov. and Atlantopteryx scotina gen. et sp. nov., from the states of Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais, Brazil, based on males, females, and eggs. The distinctive features of this new genus are described and illustrated, as well as its internal male genitalia. The new genus is most similar to Urucumania Zompro, 2004, but can easily be distinguished from it by the lack of tegmina, the reticulate venation of the remigium area of the alae, and the small, discrete poculum of the male terminalia. The two new species are likely restricted and endemic to the extreme north of the Serra do Mar mountain range, in the Atlantic Forest. Furthermore, we present a brief discussion on the relationship of the new genus with other Pseudophasmatinae.
