Resum

Two new genera and species of myrmecomorph Cerambycidae are described. Myrmeciocephalus monteithi gen. et sp. nov. (Cerambycinae: Ametrocephalini) comes from mountains of north Queensland, where it apparently associates with the ant, Myrmecia flavicoma minuscula Forel, 1915. All members of this tribe are ant mimics. Myrmeparmena sudrei gen. et sp. nov., (Lamiinae: Parmenini) is from the Isle of Pines, New Caledonia, and is provisionally placed in the tribe Parmenini. For this species we lack any information relative to the formicids with which it may coexist.
