Sumario:This study deals with a tropical group of Anobiidae belonging to two subfamilies (Tricoryninae and Dorcatominae) and three new species are described: Stagetomorphus zululandicus n. sp., Stagetodes australis n. sp. and Mizodorcatoma variabilis n. sp. The collections were made from three or four large tree-associated fungi, Fomes. S. zululandicus n. sp. may be easily distinguished from the remaining species of the genus mainly by the morphology of antennae, maxillary palpi and aedeagus. S. australis n. sp. seems to be related to S. breviusculus (Fairmaire, 1885) and S. africanus (Pic, 1929) but it differs from both species due to the morphology of maxillary palpi, antennae, eyes, matastemum and general body punctation. M. variabilis n. sp. may be distinguished from M. robusta Español, 1984, by the punctation of body, the morphology of maxillary palpi abd aedeagus; it also differs from M. transvaalensis Español, 1992, by the body pilosity, elytral atriae and aedeagus.
