Abstract
Two new subgenera are established for enigmatic species of African small carpenter bees, genus Ceratina Latreille (Xylocopinae: Ceratinini). Ceratina foveifera Strand is most similar to Copoceratina Terzo & Pauly but differs in integumental coloration and sculpturing and absence of supraclypeal ridges, and is here classified in Xestoceratina subgen. n. Ceratina labrosa Friese is similar to Ceratina s. str. and Euceratina Hirashima, Moure, & Daly but differs by the structure of the metasomal terga and male genitalia, and is placed in Alloceratina subgen. n.
