Abstract

A total of 14 species of Rhaconotus signipennis group and R. testaceiceps group from Vietnam were treated, including seven new species from the R. signipennis group, viz. Rhaconotus bachmanus Long, sp. nov.; R. elongatus Long, sp. nov.; R. expinus Long, sp. nov.; R. flavicorpus Long, sp. nov.; R. hatinh Long, sp. nov.; R. laithieu Long, sp. nov., R. logoxamat Long, sp. nov. and one species from the R. testaceiceps group, namely R. tamchuc Long & Pham, sp. nov. are described and illustrated. A key to species of R. signipennis group and R. testaceiceps group from the Oriental region is also provided.
