- Abstract
The Microcoryphia fauna of Vietnam remains inadequately studied. Only three species were described before the present study: Pedetontus (Verhoeffi lis) bouvieri (Silvestri, 1906), P. (V.) meridionalis Mendes, 1981 (Machilidae), and Machilellus heteropalpus Mendes, 1981 (Meinertellidae). Two new species Machilontus (s. str.) phami, new species, and M. (Protumidolontus) lii, new species, are described and illustrated from northern Vietnam, with the latter representing a new subgenus of Machilontus. The material was collected from the canopy layer of tropical rainforests in northern Vietnam with the canopy fogging technique. Protumidolontus, new subgenus, provides new data on sexual dimorphism in the order. A key to the genera (including subgenera) of Microcoryphia from Vietnam is provided.
