【 摘 要 】

The Kenyan fauna of the scarab beetle subfamily Orphninae is reviewed for the first time based on representative material. Twelve species of the genus Orphnus MacLeay are recorded from the country, including two that are new to science: O. kenyensis Akhmetova et Frolov, sp. nov. and O. tanaensis Akhmetova et Frolov, sp. nov. Lectotypes are designated for O. rufithorax Benderitter, O. mombasaensis Benderitter, and O. jeanneli Benderitter. Keys, diagnoses, illustrations of habitus and male genitalia, and distributional record maps are given.
