Abstract

A taxonomic study on the genus Pseudozumia de Saussure from Vietnam is presented. One species previously identified as Pseudozumia indica indica (de Saussure, 1855) is described as new, namely P. cucphuongensis Nguyen, sp. nov. The second species, P. indica (de Saussure) has two subspecies occurring in Vietnam, P. indica indica (de Saussure) from northern part and P. indica borneana Giordani Soika from southern part which is newly recorded from Vietnam. A key to the Oriental species of the genus is also given.
