Abstract

The platydesmidan genus Pseudodesmus Pocock, 1887 is reviewed within the scope of the Vietnamese fauna. A total of seven species have been recorded in Vietnam including five new species: Pseudodesmus bidoupsp. nov., Pseudodesmus karstomussp. nov., Pseudodesmus ngoclinhsp. nov., Pseudodesmus condaosp. nov., and Pseudodesmus irregularissp. nov. Cytochrome c oxidase I barcodes are provided for these species, and their phylogenetic relationship is discussed.
