Abstract
Two new species, Plagiolepis chomphuphuangi sp. n. and Plagiolepis chomphuphuangi sp. n., are described based on the worker caste from Laos and Thailand, respectively. The type series of former species was collected on the ground in a coffee plantation at highland (ca. 1000 m). Plagiolepis silpaarchai sp. n. inhabits lowland (ca. 250 m), and the type series was collected with a pitfall trap in a disturbed area near a mixed deciduous forest during the dry season. A key to the Southeast Asian species of the genus Plagiolepis Mayr, 1861 is provided.
期刊介绍:
Far Eastern Entomologist is a rapid journal in English with Russian summary which publishes the original papers on entomology, including taxonomy, systematic, morphology, phylogeny, as well biology, ecology, and biogeography. The reviews, comprehensive or revisionary studies of the insects, the phylogeny and taxonomic catalogues are preferred of insect groups are especially welcome and have priority for the publication. The area covered by the journal is extended from Chukotka to South-East Asia and from Ural Mountains to Japan.
