%X This paper deals with the systematics of two elaterid genera-Hapatesus Candeze and Toorongus, gen. nov. Both are characterized, and all species figured.   The genus Hapatesus is divided into two subgenera: Hapatesus s.s., with 11 species, of which eight are new and Minutesus, subgen. nov., with five species of which four are new. This division is based on differences in characters of the male and female genitalia. H. leai Schenkling is synonymized with H. minor (Lea), the latter being given specific rank. H. bubanus is a new name for H. hirtus var. minor Elston non Lea.   The genus Toorongus contains four species of which two are new. H. dubius Schwarz is synonymized with T. jugulatus (Candeze).
