Abstract

Two new species of the genus Mongolabis Zacher, 1911 are found in Vietnam. Detailed morphological descriptions of Mongolabis abramovi Anisyutkin sp. nov. from North Vietnam (Phansipan Mountain, Hoang Lien National Park) and M. cattienensis Anisyutkin sp. nov. from South Vietnam (Cat Tien National Park) are given. Both species have a protrusion, which articulates the scapus and pedicellus. The holotypes of the new species are deposited at the collection of the Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, Saint Petersburg.
