Abstract

In this paper the apterous Carventinae genus Parataiwanaptera n. gen with the species Parataiwanaptera laevigata n. sp. from Vietnam is described and figured. It is most closely related to the monotypic genus Taiwanaptera Heiss & Nagashima 2008 from Taiwan and Japan, showing however distinct morphological differences. The second new genus, in the Mezirinae, Schuhaptera n. gen with the species Schuhaptera penangensis n. sp from Penang Island, Malaysia, is brachypterous and shows no close relationship to other Mezirinae genera described so far from the Oriental region.
