Abstract: The Brazilian fauna of Diptychophora Zeller, 1866 (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae sensu lato, Crambinae) is reviewed. Consisting of three species based on the literature (D. diasticta Gaskin, 1986, D. kuhlweinii Zeller, 1866 and D. subazanalis Błeszyński, 1967), this fauna is augmented with three new species (Diptychophora galvani sp. n. from Mato Grosso and Minas Gerais, D. planaltina sp. n. from the Federal District, and D. ardalia sp. n. from Bahia), that are described and illustrated. The female of D. diasticta is also described and illustrated for the first time. A partial CO1 barcode sequence is provided for D. diasticta.
