S.V. Kazantsev
Abstract. Two new species of net-winged beetles, Flagrax ziminae sp. nov. and F. vanschuytbroecki sp. nov., are described from the Albertine Rift (Rwanda and eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo). General view and aedeagi of these new species and of F. grandis (Kleine, 1942) as well as the aedeagus of F. auberti (Bourgeois, 1881) are illustrated. A key to the Flagrax species with uniformly testaceous elytra is provided.
Key words: net-winged beetles, taxonomy, Afrotropical region, Coleoptera, Lycidae, new species
