Enochrus (Methydrus) barituensis new species and Enochrus (Methydrus) robustus new species are described from the Neotropical Region. They are distinguished from all other known Neotropical Enochrus (Methydrus) by the highly tectiform, anteriorly keel-shaped prosternum. E. barituensis can be distinguished from E. robustus by its smaller size, by the prosternal and mesosternal crest and by the aedeagus morphology. Illustrations of the diagnostical characters are provided. The total number of Argentine species of Enochrus is here increased to 18 (one in the subgenus Hydatothrephis, eight in Hugoscottia and nine in Methydrus).
