Two formerly monotypic subgenera of Scytocera Redtenbacher, 1891, namely Morocera Gorochov, 2016 stat. nov. and Papucera Gorochov, 2016 stat. nov. are raised to full genus status. The first male of Morocera loriae (Griffini, 1908) and two new species of this genus are described: M. nigrifrons sp. nov. and M. peniculosa sp. nov. In the genus Papucera, formerly only known from P. smaragdifrons Naskrecki & Rentz (2010), P. dentata sp. nov. is described as new species. Four new genera are proposed to accommodate species with unique characters, namely Cuspicera gen. nov. for two species, C. luxoria spec. nov. (typus generis) and C. alata sp. nov., Kaindiagraecia gen. nov. for K. bilobata sp. nov., Glennagraecia gen. nov. for G. curvata sp. nov. and Angustocera gen. nov. for A. plana sp. nov. All data are based on specimens found in historical museum collections in Europe and North America.
