Abstract: Four new Triaspis and one new Schizoprymnus species are described: T. flavofacies sp. n. and T. hispanicus sp. n. from Europe; T. mervarki sp. n., T. semiareola sp. n. and S. rasus sp. n. from the tropical Africa (or Ethiopian Region). The new species are related to their nearest allies. Redescriptions are presented for the species Schizoprymnus excisus (Snoflák), Triaspis devinensis Snoflák, T. pygmaeus (Szépligeti) (Tanzania) and T. sulcatus (Szépligeti) (Europe) and related to their nearest allies. Schizoprymnus arcuatus Tobias is a junior synonym of S. excisus (Snoflák) comb. n. and syn. n.; T. arcticus Hellén is a junior synonym of T. caudatus (Nees) syn. n.. Taxonomic observations are added to seven Triaspis species: T. crusta De Saeger, T. efluctus Papp, T. metacarpalis Tobias, T. obscurellus (Nees), T. pallipes (Nees), T. striatulus (Nees) and T. wittei De Saeger. Eleven afrotropical species, ranged by their original descriptions in the genus Foersteria Szépligeti, are transferred in the genus Triaspis Haliday, i.e. the eleven species names are new combinations.With 121 original figures.
