In this paper the species referable to the genus Aphistogoniulus Silvestri, 1897, are enumerated and their status is briefly discussed. Mystalides Attems, 1910, is a junior subjective synonym. Two species from Madagascar, A. quadridentatus (Attems, 1910) and A. polleni nov. spec., are described after material in the collection of the Zoological Museum, Amsterdam. The gonopods of a male from the type series of A. hova (De Saussure & Zehntner, 1897) are depicted. The name A. brolemanni nov. spec. is proposed for the material referred to A. hova by Brolemann, 1922.
