Abstract - Three new species of the genus Loxoncus Schmidt-Göbel, 1846 are described from continental Africa: Loxoncus schuelei n. sp., L. similatus n. sp., L. trochantericus n. sp. Illustrations of the habitus, drawings of the male genitalia, as well as distribution maps of the new species are provided. Moreover, the following systematic changes are proposed: Stenolophus amoenulus Péringuey, 1896 is a true species, not a synonym of Anoplogenius angustatus Chaudoir, 1878, which is a junior synonym of Stenolophus agyzimbanus Fairmaire, 1868.
