Abstract
Stenomastigus Leleup currently includes seventeen species and six subspecies, all endemic to South Africa. Two new species are described: S. mpumalanganus sp. nov., and S. bulirschi sp. nov., both based on specimens collected in Mpumalanga province. A preliminary identification key to species and subspecies of Stenomastigus is given.
