Twelve species and one variant of brachiopods belonging to ten genera and one subgenus, are identified and described from the Carboniferous Itaituba formation of the Tapajós River, a tributary of the Amazon River in Brazil. They represent about one-third of the brachiopods of the fauna and only a small portion of the entire fauna. One genus, three species, and one variant are new. Seven of the species occur in other parts of the world; they appear to indicate a Pennsylvanian age for the Itaituba Formation.
