Onyxacalles hannibali Germann sp.n. (Tunisia: Dorsale) and Onyxacalles maginaensis Stueben sp.n. (Spain: Jaen) are described and distinguished from the 13 known species of the genus Onyxacalles Stueben 1999. Relevant external characters and the male genitalia of all discussed taxa are illustrated. A new diagnostic key allows the identification of all species of the genus Onyxacalles. Moreover, new scientific findings of the species are presented. A lectotype and paralectotypes are designated for Acalles pyrenaeus Boheman 1844. The neotype designation of this species by Kostal & Holecova (2001) falls away (ICZN 2000: 75.8). Following synonymies are established: Acalles pyrenaeus Boheman 1844 (= Acalles pyrenaeus germanicus Letzner 1882 = Onyxacalles boehmei Kostal & Holecova 2001 n. syn.).
