Abstract
Cephennomicrus Reitter of the Philippines is exceptionally poorly known, with only four nominal species recorded so far, two on Luzon, one on Palawan, and one on Leyte. Three more new species are described: C. palawanicus sp. n. (Palawan), C. impressus sp. n. (Palawan), and C. lagunensis sp. n. (Luzon). The latter species is unusual among all congeners in having a monstrously elongate aedeagus, longer than the abdomen.
