Abstract

Two new species of Augerella Gupta, 1962 are described from Vietnam based on material collected from Dak Lak Province, Central Vietnam. Augerella achterbergi sp. nov. is characterized by the combination of the following features: body with black marks; clypeus strongly convex at base and concave at apex; both lower and upper valves of ovipositor bearing slanting ridges; ovipositor 0.73 times the length of hind tibia, 1.43 times length of first tergite. Augerella vriesi sp. nov. is distinguished from its congeners by having a longer ovipositor (the length of ovipositor 1.00 times the length of hind tibia, 1.90 times length of first tergite). In addition, A. orientalis (Gupta) is recorded in Vietnam for the first time.
