This study describes Stelletta soteropolitana sp. nov and redescribes Stelletta kallitetilla (de Laubenfels, 1936) from Northeastern Brazil. Unlike other Stelletta, the new species has two categories of oxeas, one type of protriaenes, and one of ortho- to plagiotriaenes. The distribution range of Stelletta kallitetilla is amplified to the Southwestern Atlantic and a key for the Brazilian species of Stelletta is provided.
