Abstract: Two new species of lycoperdinine Endomychidae from Philippines, Mindanao, are
described and illustrated. These are a new species of Amphisternus Germar, 1843:
Amphisternus alberti sp. nov., and a new species of Gerstaeckerus Tomaszewska,
2005: Gerstaeckerus rufiplagiatus sp. nov. Both species belong to
Amphisternus-group of Lycoperdininae. The keys to the species of Amphisternus
and Gerstaeckerus (= Engonius Gerstaecker, 1857) originally proposed by
Strohecker are modified and updated.
