Four new genera and one new species of the subfamily Tarsosteninae (Coleoptera: Cleridae) are described. The new genera are: Agapetilus Opitz, gen. nov., Fallopylus Opitz, gen., nov, Globoclava Opitz, gen. nov., and Pseudopylus Opitz, gen. nov. The new species involves Agapetilus vietus Opitz. sp. nov. Liostylus Fairmaire is synonymized with Rhophaloclerus Fairmaire. New combinations, Fallopylus pallipes (MacLeay, 1872), comb. nov., Globoclava quadrimaculata (Chevrolat, 1876), comb. nov., Parapylus sedlaceki (Kolibáč, 2003), comb. nov., Pseudopylus okei (Elston, 1929), comb. nov., and Rhophaloclerus pictus (Fairmaire, 1902), comb. nov., are established. A key and phylogeny of the genera of Tarsosteninae is provided
