Discocyrtoidespinorum sp. nov. is described from the conifers forest in Paran? State, Southern Brazil. This is the second species of Discocyrtoides Mello-Leit?o, 1923, the other being known from S?o Paulo State. It is remarkable for having greenish/yellowish spots in the dorsal scutum highly contrasting with the brown background, a feature rare in Mitobatinae, hitherto known only for Ruschia Mello-Leit?o, 1940. It is the first record of this genus for Paran? State (WWF Ecoregion NT0101, Araucaria moist forests). Terminology for the male genitalia of the Mitobatinae is defined and illustrated.
