In this revision of the subtribe Gonopina, based on more than 4000 specimens from southern and East Africa, sixteen species are recognized, three of which are new: Stenogonopus rautenbachi, Gonopus (Agonopus) bellamyi and Gonopus (Gonopus) mozambiquensis. In addition, seven new subspecies are described (Gonopus (G.) mozambiquensis muellerae, G. (G.) tibialis kalaharicus, G. (G.) t. costatus, G. (G.) t. skeletonensis, G. (G.) t. punctatus, G. (G.) t. alternatus and G. (G.) t. capensis), while three new synonyms are proposed (Gonopus rugicollis Gebien, 1920 = G. (A.) puncticollis Solier, 1848; Gonopus nitidipleuris Gebien, 1920 = G. (G.) prosternalis Gebien, 1920; and Gonopus prosternalis Gebien, 1920, and Gonopus agrestis FÃ¥hraeus, 1870 = G. (G.) deplanatus FÃ¥hraeus, 1870). Gonopus puncticollis is designated as the type species of G. (Agonopus). A neotype is designated for Blaps tibialis Fabricius. Keywords: Coleoptera, Distribution, Gonopina, Neotype, New species, New subspecies, New synonyms, Taxonomic revision and Tenebrionidae.
