ABSTRACT. Two new species of the genus Togoda Melichar, 1906 (Tropiduchinae, Trienopini) are described from tropical Africa, namely: Togoda kakum Gnezdilov, sp.n. — from Kakum National Park in Ghana and T. ernsti Gnezdilov, sp.n. — from northeastern Republic of South Africa. A new subgenus, Togoda (Afromela) Gnezdilov, subgen.n., is erected to accommodate T. minima Gnezdilov, 2025 and T. ernsti Gnez-dilov, sp.n. and a new subgenus, Togoda (Leoma) Gnezdilov, subgen.n., is erected to accommodate T. carinata Gnezdilov, 2025. The characters of male genitalia structure and hind wing shape and venation are discussed in course of clarification of relationships between the taxa.

KEY WORDS: Afrotropical Realm, morphology, new species, new subgenus, systematics, Trienopini.
