The Neotropical genus Pseudophorticus Erwin, 2004 is reported from the Eastern Hemis-
pere for the first time. Two new species, P. constricticollis sp. nov. and P. tetragonoderoides sp.
nov. are described from Vietnam; within the former species, two subspecies are recognized:
the nominotypical one (central Vietnam) and P. constricticollis tonkinensis ssp. nov. (northen
Vietnam). Additional records of Selina westermanni Motschulsky, 1858 in Vietnam are given.
Aeolodermus emarginatus (Chaudoir, 1872) is first reported from Vietnam.
Неотропический род Pseudophorticus Erwin, 2004 впервые обнаружен в Восточном
полушарии. Два новых вида – P. constricticollis sp. nov. с новым подвидом P. constricticol-
lis tonkinensis ssp. nov. и P. tetragonoderoides sp. nov. описаны из Вьетнама. Приведены
новые находки во Вьетнаме Selina westermanni Motschulsky, 1858. Aeolodermus emarginatus
(Chaudoir, 1872) впервые указан для Вьетнама.
