The genus Quiva belongs to the tribe Dysoniini (Phaneropterinae: Tettigoniidae) and is divided into two subgenera and seven species: Quiva (Quiva) with six species and Quiva (Paraquiva) with only one species, Quiva (Paraquiva) angieae which currently only is known for the type locality (Leticia-Colombia). This work describes the new species Quiva (Paraquiva) obscura sp. nov. for the Amazon and the first record of the subgenus for Brazil is made.
