Makassaritanais, a new subgenus within the leptocheliid genus Pseudonototanais Lang, 1973 is diagnosed and two new species, Pseudonototanais (Makassaritanais) angustus and P. (M.) bamberi, are described, respectively, from the coasts of the islands Kalimantan (Makassar Strait) and Réunion (South-East of the Indian Ocean). Pseudonototanais (M.) modestus (Kussakin & Tzareva, 1972), comb. nov., which was previously considered a synonym of Pseudonototanais werthi (Vanhoffen, 1914), is resurrected and transferred to the new subgenus. Based on these new observations six species of Pseudonototanais are now recognized, three within each of the two subgenera. An identification key for both males and females of the genus Pseudonototanais is presented.
