Four Neotropical species of Sidymella Strand, 1942, S.furcillata Keyserling, 1880, S.longispina (Mello-Leitão, 1943), S.lucida (Keyserling, 1880), and S.kolpogaster (Lise, 1973) are redescribed from both sexes. The holotype of S.nigripes (Mello-Leitão, 1947) is lost and this taxon is considered a species inquierenda. Sidymellaobscura (Mello-Leitão, 1929), S.parallela (Mello-Leitão, 1929), and S.spinifera (Mello-Leitão, 1929) are all nomina dubia. Two new species are described: Sidymellaexcavatasp. nov. (males and females) and S.marmoratasp. nov. (female).
