Two new Heteromastix Boheman, 1858 from Mount Arfak in New Guinea (Indonesia, West Papua) are described. Heteromastix casadioi sp. nov. is characterized by 12 antennomeres, a feature only known in one other species until now. Heteromastix colacurcioi sp. nov. is similar to H. elongatus Wittmer, 1959 but differs in the antennomeres X-XI. Furthermore, a redefinition of the species groups of the entire genus Heteromastix is provided.
