| Two new species of Pseudogonatodes Ruthven, 1915, are described, one from the Rio Juruá Basin, in the state of Acre, Brazil (Amazonian rainforest), the other from Rancho Grande, in the state Aragua, Venezuela (cloud forest). Both have granular dorsals and relatively numerous fourth toe lamellae, of which the third (from tip to base of toe) is not distinctly larger than the two distal ones. The species from the Rio Juruá is small, with dark belly, and recognised, among other characteristics, by its tall, conical to flat-conical dorsals. That from Rancho Grande is relatively large, with low number of ventrals, and mental with a straight or convex posterior segment medially, among other distinctive characteristics.
