Two new species of lycoperdinine Endomychidae from Philippines, Mindanao, are described and illustrated. These are a new species of Amphisternus Germar, 1843: Amphisternus alberti sp. nov., and a new species of Gerstaeckerus Tomaszewska, 2005: Gerstaeckerus rufiplagiatus sp. nov. Both species belong to Amphisternus-group of Lycoperdininae. The keys to the species of Amphister­nus and Gerstaeckerus (= Engonius Gerstaecker, 1857) originally proposed by Strohecker are modified and updated.
