Description:
Two new genera of Entedoninae are described from Afrotropical region. The genus Janicharis gen. nov. (type species: J. africana spec. nov.) is described from Cameroon, Nigeria and Madagascar. The genus Hakuna gen. nov. (type species: H. matata spec. nov.) is described from Uganda. Both genera have a rather characteristic habitus and a peculiar propodeum bearing large anterolateral strips. A new, but yet unnamed, species of the genus Trisecodes Delvare & LaSalle, 2000, is recorded from Cameroon. This is the fi rst Afrotropical record of this genus, originally described from the Neotropical region.
