The group of species of Lachnaia tristigma (Lacordaire, 1848) is revised. Previously known taxa and diagnostic characters are reassessed, yielding clear limits for species based on male and female genitalia and not on variable and overlapping external characters. A diagnosis along with figures of the median lobe of aedeagus, endophallus and spermatheca are presented for the previously known species, L. pseudobarathraea Daniel & Daniel, 1898 and L. tristigma, as well as the newly described L. gallaeca n. sp.

Nine new species of Ottistira Pascoe (O. arfakensis Riedel, O. ascendens Riedel, O. dani Riedel, O. longispina Riedel, O. obrienorum Riedel, O. paniaiensis Riedel, O. robusta Riedel, O. telefominensis Riedel, O. tumidirostris Riedel) are described from the highlands of New Guinea. They form a monophyletic group and can be diagnosed by their possession of both lateral humeral flanges and median elytral spines. Male genitalia offer good characters for separation of species, especially when the endophallus is everted. A key to the species is included. Habitus photographs and illustrations of male and female genitalia for all species are provided.
