Abstract

The paradoxosomatid genus Kronopolites Attems, 1914 has been reviewed in the context of Vietnam’s fauna. A total of six species have been documented in the country, including a new country record, K. biagrilectus Hoffman, 1963, and two new species, K. contrastussp. nov. and K. serratussp. nov. The genetic distances and the phylogenetic relationship between Vietnamese Kronopolites species based on a fragment of the COI gene were also provided.
