Macrolechriops moreyi Anzaldo and O'Brien, new species, from Brazil and Uruguay is described and figured. Most examined specimens were reared from the fruits of Maytenus ilicifolia Mart. ex Reissek (Celastraceae), a widely grown shrub with many medicinal uses. The genus MacrolechriopsChampion, 1906 is discussed, and images of type specimens are provided for the other six species currently placed in Macrolechriops to aid future studies on the Lechriopini.
