Abstract

Two new species of the genus Teulisna Walker, 1862 are described: T. kishidai Huang, Volynkin & Müller sp. n. from Mount Victoria, West Myanmar, and T. hreblayi Volynkin & Huang sp. n. from East Nepal. Both species are compared with members of the T. pallida (Moore, 1878) species-group. Adults and genitalia of both sexes are illustrated.
