Abstract - A new genus of coprophagous scarab beetle - Yvescambefortius (type species: Oniticellus sarawacus Gillet) - is described from Borneo, Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula. It is distinguished from the other genera of the tribe Oniticellini by the very elongate body, the rounded elytral lateral margins and the slender legs in both sexes. A key to the tropical Asian genera of the tribe Oniticellini is also provided.
