The South American tipulid taxa Elnoretta, Euvaldiviana and Valdiviana are revised. Type material of all described species was examined. Euvaldiviana is raised from subgeneric to generic rank. The synonymy of Valdiviana synempora and V. neuquenensis is established. Details of the genitalia of the five recognized species as well as external characters are illustrated. A phylogeny is presented of a monophyletic group containing Elnoretta, Euvaldiviana and Valdiviana together with the genera Acracantha (Australia) and Austrotipula (New Zealand).
