Three new species of the genus Polycatus Heller, 1912 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Entiminae: Polycatini) from the Philippine Islands are described and illustrated: P. barsevskisi Bramanti, Bramanti & Rukmane sp. nov., P. caterinae Bramanti & Bramanti sp. nov., P. negrosensis Bramanti, Bramanti & Rukmane sp. nov. A key for species of the panayensis group of Mindanao, Negros and Panay Islands is proposed.
