Abstract

The genus Scutibracon and four its species are newly recorded in the fauna of Vietnam. Two new species, Scutibracon rugosus Samartsev, Duong & Long, sp. nov., and S. storozhenkoi Samartsev, Duong & Long, sp. nov., are described and diagnoses of S. hispae and S. sumodani are specified. An updated key to four species known from Vietnam is provided along with illustrations of all recorded species.
