Abstract
Afroeudesis Franz and Oreoeudesis Franz, Afrotropical subgenera of Pseudoeudesis Binaghi (Scydmaenini), are elevated to the genus rank and transferred to Cyrtoscydmini. The East Palaearctic genus Nanoscydmus Jałoszyński is reduced to a subgenus of Afroeudesis stat. n., resulting in Afroeudesis (Nanoscydmus) baoshanus (Jałoszyński), comb. n. and Afroeudesis (Nanoscydmus) nepalensis (Jałoszyński), comb. n. Morphological structures of the type species of Afroeudesis and Oreoeudesis are illustrated and described in detail, and the following species are redescribed: Afroeudesis (s. str.) basilewskyi Franz (Tanzania), Oreoeudesis lindneri Franz (Tanzania), Oreoeudesis aberdarensis Franz (Kenya) and Oreoeudesis camerunensis Franz (Cameroon).
