We present a taxonomic study with the description of three new species of Chira Peckham & Peckham, 1896: C. stolari sp. nov. (♂♀) from Pernambuco, Brazil; C. ivyatenea sp. nov. (♂♀) from Misiones, Argentina and Santa Catarina, Brazil; and C. hanagarthi sp. nov. (♀) from La Paz, Bolivia; and a tentative identification key for 12 (of 14 known) species of this Central and South American genus. Some misidentifications of C. lanei Soares & Camargo, 1948 and C. lucina Simon, 1902 are resolved.
