For the first time in the Philippines, cave surveys were carried out in search of cave beetles. In this paper we describe a new troglobite genus, Kweba gen. nov., with two new species K. magbabaya sp. nov. and K. diwata sp. nov. We describe a new subgenus: Trogloabacetus subgen. nov. of the genus Metabacetus Bates, 1892, with the addition of two new species, M. (T.) T .) baltazarae sp. nov. and M. (T.) T .) desideratus sp. nov. from various limestone caves of Mindanao Island. Anaulacus (s.str.) fasciatus (Schmidt-Goebel, 1846) is also reported from the cave habitats. A key to the new and related genera, images of habitus and genitalia, and distribution maps are provided.
