Through morphological and taxonomic analysis of adults of the genus Calymmaderus Solier, 1849 (Ptinidae: Dorcatominae), 2 new Neotropical species in Mexico are described and proposed: C. robustus sp. nov. and C. semioblongus sp. nov. They are distinguished from the 7 species currently reported and recognized for Mexico based on their coloration, pubescence and lateral elitral striae. The genital structure of males is described.
