Abstract - Nine new species of Mastogeniinae are described and illustrated: Ankareus transvaalensis from South Africa, A. somalicus from Somalia, A. kenyensis and A. tsavoensis from Kenya, Helferella papuae from New Guinea, H. philippinensis form Mindanao, and H. vanuae, H. fiji and H. viti, all from Fiji. Haplostethus taoi is transferred to Mastogenius. Mastogenius felix and Pseudianthe tenebrosus are transferred to Ankareus. A. mus is synonymized with A. natalensis. Micrasta typica Kerremans is designated as the type-species of that genus. A world catalogue of the Mastogeniinae is presented.
