Brazil (Bahia, Minas Gerais, Paraná, Rio de Janeiro, and Rio Grande do Sul).</p><p>Etymology. The generic name is feminine and comes from the Latin word “gracilis” meaning “thin”, alluding to the strongly foliaceous anterior margin of the head. The suffix -pona is common in names of other Gyponini genera of the Hecalapona complex.</p><p>Remarks. Among the genera that comprise the Hecalapona complex, Gracilipona gen. nov. is more similar to Hirsutapona and Hyperapona, because they have a pygofer generally without processes and the aedeagus with paired basal processes. Gracilipona gen nov. differs from Hirsutapona by the expanded portion of the style in lateral view, while the style of Hirsutapona has an approximately constant height throughout its length, and differs from Hyperapona by not having subgenital plates with the internal margin expanded and overlapping each other, like in Hyperapona . Furthermore, Gracilipona gen. nov. differs from other genera of the Hecalapona complex in having a transverse carina between the antennal ledges, the forewing with extra transverse veins distally and the metatibia AD row without intercalary setae.</p><p>Species of Gracilipona gen. nov.</p><p>G. birama sp. nov.
