Resumen:
Two new species of the predaceous midge genus, Amerohelea Grogan and Wirth,  are described and illustrated from Argentina: Amerohelea paranaensis, new species, from the subtropical forest zone of Misiones Province, and,  A. xerophila, new species, from an arid region in San Luis and Córdoba Provinces. The male of Amerohelea paranaensis exhibits a tuft of stout setae on the ventral surface of tarsomere 1 of the fore leg, a character previously unknown in the genus.
