Eight new species of the genus Nitela Latreille, 1809 (N. cooperi, N. erugifrons, N. fuscipes, N. intermedia, N. longinervis, N. menkei, N. nigripalpis, and N. polaszeki), are described. Three species previously placed in the subgenus Tenila together with the eight species described in this paper are treated here as the amazonica species group. A key to the species of the species group is given. A lectotype is designated for N. amazonica Ducke, 1903.
