The Sternocoelis marseulii species group is proposed based on antennal and prosternal characters. Five species are included in the group: S. marseulii (Brisout de Barneville, 1866) (Spain), S. viaticus Lewis, 1892 (Algeria), S. vaucheri Lewis, 1896 (Morocco), S. berberus Lackner & Yélamos, 2001 (Morocco) and S. yelamosi sp. n. (Morocco). The external morphology of Sternocoelis yelamosi sp. n. is described and illustrated, the illustrations of genitalia of all species of the group (except for S. vaucheri) are provided and a key to the species of the group is given.
