Abstract

Two new species of Cryptolestes Ganglbauer (Coleoptera, Cucujoidea, Laemophloeidae) are described and illustrated in this paper. Cryptolestes cervus sp. nov. from the Philippines and C. subcalabozus sp. nov. from Brazil are compared to their most similar congeners, from which they are distinguished based on the morphology of the male antennal scape. In addition, Cryptolestes beccarii (Grouvelle) is here redescribed based on the newly designated lectotype, with commentaries on the variation of the male antennal scape.
