Abstract
Two new oriental genera of Nitidulidae, related to Axyra Er., are desc ribed: Taraphia gen. n. (including Taraphia amplicollis sp. n. from Bo rneo and Sumatra (type species) and T gemina sp. n. from Sumatra) and Megaucheniodes gen. n. (including Megaucheniodes corniger sp. n. from Borneo). The ''Axyroid-group'' of genera (Megauchenia Mcl., Axyra Er., Megaucheniodes gen. n., Pseudoplatychora Grouv. and Taraphia gen. n.) is defined, polarity of some character states is discussed, and a gen eric level cladogram is proposed.
