Abstract

The orthotyline plant bug generaPseudoloxopidea Yasunaga, 1999 andPseudoloxopsKirkaldy, 1905 are reported from Vietnam for the first time based on the discovery of two new speciesPseudoloxopidearuberuniformissp. nov. andPseudoloxops clavolineatussp. nov., along with the record ofPseudoloxops lateralis (Poppius, 1915). Detailed descriptions, diagnoses of the species, and a key to Vietnamese species are provided with illustrations and photographs.
