Abstract
The orthotyline plant bug genera Pseudoloxopidea Yasunaga, 1999 and Pseudoloxops Kirkaldy, 1905 are reported from Vietnam for the first time based on the discovery of two new species Pseudoloxopidea ruberuniformis sp. nov. and Pseudoloxops clavolineatus sp. nov., along with the record of Pseudoloxops lateralis (Poppius, 1915). Detailed descriptions, diagnoses of the species, and a key to Vietnamese species are provided with illustrations and photographs.
