Abstract

Two new species of Acantheis Thorell, 1891 are described from Sumatra Island: A. andreimishenini sp. n. (♂♀) and A. sergeimishenini sp. n. (♂). Detailed descriptions, digital photographs and a distributional map are provided. Male copulatory organs and habitus of A. dimidiatus (Thorell, 1890) from the same island are shown for the first time. The male and female copulatory organs of Acantheis are described in detail for the first time.
