Abstract

There are two species of the genus Pseumenes Giordani Soika, 1935 occurring in Vietnam, Pseumenes depressus depressus (de Saussure, 1855) and a new species, Pseumenes fulvus Nguyen. The new species is described and figured. A key to all known species of this genus from the Oriental region is provided.
