Abstract

A new genus,Bifaciomirisgen. nov. is described to accommodate two new species,B.koreanussp. nov. andB. vietnamensissp. nov. Morphological information of the new genus and new species is presented with photographs and illustrations. The need of further study on the related groups is also discussed.
