In the present paper, the Indo-Malayan flea beetle genus Jacobyana Maulik, 1926 including 7 species from India, Nepal, Vietnam and Sri Lanka, is for the first time reported with three new species, J. bedzeki sp. n., J. centrafricana sp. n., and J. sudafricana sp. n., in the Afrotropical region. Micrographs of male and female genitalia, scanning electron micrographs of some diagnostic morphological characters, a key to identification and distributional data for the new species, are supplied. Finally, morphological characters of a single female from Namibia, probably to attribute to a possible further new species of Jacobyana, are also discussed.
