Abstract - Nine new species and a new subspecies of the subgenus Egadroma Motschulsky, 1855 of the genus Stenolophus Dejean, 1821 are here described from Africa: Stenolophus (Egadroma) jaegeri n. sp., S. (E.) uhligi n. sp., S. (E.) occiduus n. sp., S. (E.) barbarae n. sp., S. (E.) barbarae aethiopicus n. ssp., S. (E.) planicostis n. sp., S. (E.) toledanoi n. sp., S. (E.) genieri n. sp., S. (E.) madagascariensis n. sp., S. (E.) ruthmuelleri n. sp. Illustrations of the habitus and male genitalia of the new species and subspecies are provided. Moreover, the following systematic changes are proposed: Stenolophus (Egadroma) micans Erichson, 1842 is a true species, not a synonym of Stenolophus relucens Erichson, 1843; Egadroma senegalense Lecordier, 1978 is a junior (new) synonym of Stenolophus (Egadroma) micans Erichson, 1842; Stenolophus (Egadroma) elegans Péringuey, 1896 is a true species, not a subspecies of Acupalpus quadripustulatus Dejean, 1829; Egadroma collarti Basilewsky, 1948 is a junior (new) synonym of Stenolophus (Egadroma) schoutedeni (Burgeon, 1936). The lectotypes of the taxa Egadroma dollmani Basilewsky, 1946 and Stenolophus columbinus Erichson, 1843 are designated.
