Description

Two new species of the genus Plateros Bourgeois, 1879, P. bachmaensis sp. nov. and P. phulocensis sp. nov., are described from Bach Ma National Park, central Vietnam. Plateros bannaensis Kazantsev, 2017 is recorded from Vietnam for the first time, found in Phia Oac-Phia Đen National Park, Cao Bang province, in northern Vietnam. This addition to the fauna of the region complements the recently published review of Plateros of Indochina, increasing the number of its species to 92, and the number of species registered in Vietnam, with the discovery of a species previously known only from Yunnan, to 73. A full list of Plateros species of Vietnam is provided.
