Abstract
Three Indonesian species of the genus Phloeostiba Thomson, 1858 are (re-) described and illustrated: Ph. hammondi sp. nov. and Ph. truncata sp. nov. (both from one locality in Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park in Minahassa Peninsula, Sulawesi), and Ph. subapicalis (Cameron, 1928), known from Sumatra. A lectotype is designated for Phloeonomus subapicalis. Additionally, Ph. plana (Paykull, 1792) is recorded from Bhutan for the first time.
