Resumen:
The genus Pediella Roberts, described originally from the Venezuelan Páramos is reviewed. Three new species from the Peruvian Puna are described. The genus shows a striking disjunct distribution. It is the only Melanoplinae genus known to occur at the Páramos and Puna highlands above 3000 meters. Pediella exhibits a homogeneous morphology across species. Differences among species are rather small, observed mostly in the shape of the male cerci, phallic complex, and coloration of the hind tibiae. The edition of this paper has been formatted with embedded links to images of type specimens, maps based on geo referenced specimen data and species key available on the Orthoptera Species file online (http://orthoptera.speciesfile.org).��
