Representatives of the genus Protaetiomorpha Miksic, 1968 are studied. Study of the type localities of historically described species and their distribution, including distribution of species newly described here, revealed, that the genus is endemic to Sulawesi Island (Indonesia). Generic relation to Glycyphana Burmeister, 1842 and Protaetia Burmeister, 1842 is briefly discussed. Two new species are described, illustrated and compared with currently known species; Protaetiomorpha puncak sp. nov. from Puncak Palopo Pass and Protaetiomorpha seko sp. nov. from Seko District, both occurring in the western-central part of the island.
