Abstract

Two new species of Disella from the Lao Mountains and Tongling Great Canyon, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China are described and illustrated: Disella biaristatume sp. nov. on Huodendron biaristatum (Styracaceae) and Disella baisensis sp. nov. on Caesalpinia sp. (Fabaceae). Both species described here are vagrant on the undersurface of host leaves. A key to the species of Disella from China is provided.
