A systematic review of the aleocharine genusAmazonoporaPace 1996 is presented.Amazonoporais redescribed, and three species are recognized, two of which are described as new (A.leschenin. sp., type locality: Peru, Campamento San Jacinto, 2°18.75′S, 75°51.77′W; andA. brooksin. sp., type locality: French Guiana, Roura, 39.4 km SSE, 270 m 4°32′43″N, 52°8′26″W). Types and paratypes of the two new species are designated. A key is provided for separation of known species ofAmazonoporaand illustrations of diagnostic features are provided.Amazonoporais hypothesized to be a member of the tribe Myllaenini based on the very small gland opening on the anterior margin of tergite VII; antero-lateral angles of mentum prolonged into spinose processes; lacinia of maxilla elongate, slender, with distinctive distribution of spines interdigitating with spinose scales; galea shorter and much more slender than lacinia, with distinctive small patch of setae on apex, and without setae on mesal edge; cardo of maxilla very elongate; medial pseudopore field narrow, without pseudopores; lateral pseudopore fields of prementum without pseudopores; and, labial palpi elongate and stylate.
