Abstract

Three species of the genus Montandoniola Poppius are reported, including two new species described from Bali: M. moraguesi (Puton), M. ishikawai n. sp., and M. bellatula n. sp. A key to distinguish the three Indonesian species is provided, with photographs and illustrations of important features of the two new species.
