Abstract

The genus Laoennea (Streptaxoidea, Diapheridae) was erected by Páll-Gergely, 2020. The type species, Laoennea carychioides Páll-Gergely, A. Reischütz & Maassen, 2020 is so far only known from the type locality cave in Laos. Herein, we describe a second species, Laoennea renouardisp. nov., from a nearby cave in the same karst region of Vientiane Province.
