Three new species of Mimastra Baly, 1865, are described, illustrated and compared with related taxa; M. strejceki sp. nov. (Indonesia; Java), M. andrewesi sp. nov. and M. nilgiriensis sp. nov. (both India: Tamil Nadu state). Haplosoma longicornis Allard, 1888 and Trichomimastra itoi Takizawa, 1986 are transferred to Mimastra (comb. nov.). For the reason of homonymy, a new name M. jacobyi nom. nov. is proposed for M. longicornis Jacoby, 1892 (nec M. longicornis (Allard, 1888)). The lectotypes are designated for M. arcuata Baly, 1865 and H. longicornis Allard, 1888. The drawings of both male and female genitalia are presented for all species. Mimastra arcuata is reported for the first time from Myanmar.
