This paper deals with the genus Clavigesta Obraztsov, 1946. The material of the author's collection and some additional material has been examined. Together with the two already known species in this genus, two new species are described and figured: Clavigesta gerti n. sp. and Clavigesta tokei n. sp. The distribution of all four species is described in detail and it is detected that all four species occur in the Mediterranean region and that the genus may have originally evolved in the pine forests of this region. C. purderi from the central Mediterranean area is looking slightly different from the populations in North-West Europe indicating a long time separation of the populations.
