Two new species from the genus Phylacinus Fairmaire,1896 (Phylacinus fisheri sp. nov., P. kavanaughi sp. nov.) and a new genus Microphylacinus gen. nov. with a single species Microphylacinus verendus sp. nov. are described. These genera are distributed mainly along the coast of Madagascar. The material studied was acquired from California Academy of Sciences expeditions conducted between 2000 and 2002. Examined specimens allowed us to revise the genus Phylacinus and confirm previously described species. New localities were recorded for Phylacinus peyrierasi Ardoin, 1967 and Phylacinus ferreri Iwan, 2004. A key is proposed to the species of Phylacinus. Microphylacinus differs from Phylacinus by its small size, sulcate fronto-clypeal suture and fully divided aedeagal tegmen.
