Abstract
Taxonomic and faunistic data for nine species of the genus Paraphloeostiba Steel, 1960 of the Oriental and Palaearctic regions are presented. Two new species from the one locality in Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park (Sulawesi, Indonesia) are described and illustrated: P. bicolora sp. nov. and P. carnaria sp. nov. First records are provided for the following five species: P. gayndahensis (MacLeay, 1873) from Turkey, Sri Lanka, Laos, Vietnam and Sulawesi (Indonesia), P. impressa (Cameron, 1928) and P. rhopalocera (Cameron, 1928) from Sulawesi (Indonesia), and P. latissima Shavrin, 2024 and P. zingiberiphila Shavrin, 2024 from Indonesia.
