Abstract

The genus Agnoshydrus Biström, Nilsson & Wewalka, 1997 is reviewed and two new species are described from Thailand: A. thailandicus sp. nov. (Ubon Ratchathani, Chiang Mai, Nong Khai provinces) and A. wewalkai sp. nov. (Nan Province). Agnoshydrus schillhammeri Wewalka, 1999 is recorded from Cambodia for the first time. A key to species and a distribution map of all known Agnoshydrus species are provided.
