Abstract
Two new species from the genus Metopiellus Raffray, 1908 (Staphylinidae, Pselaphinae, Metopiasini) are described from both sides of the Ecuadorian Andes: Metopiellus palamaku sp. nov. from the Amazon in eastern Ecuador and Metopiellus chasqui sp. nov. from montane cloud forest in western Ecuador. These findings represent the first country record of the genus.
