Three new species of Goniurellia Hendel, G. apicalis sp. n. from Sokotra Island (Yemen), G. ebejeri sp. n. and G. octoradiata sp. n. from Oman, are described, illustrated and compared with similar species, raising the number of species of the genus to ten. Based on a study of the lectotype of Tephritis cosmia Schiner (a species superficially similar to some Goniurellia species), this species is retained in Trupanea Schrank.
