Abstract

The small microgastrine genus Philoplitis Nixon, 1965 from Vietnam is newly recorded. As a result, two new species are described and fully illustrated, viz. Philoplitis ipunctatus Long, sp. nov. and Philoplitis cariniferus Long, sp. nov.. Additionally, the genus Philoplitis is recorded for the first time for Vietnam, and the comparative characters of Philoplitis species summarized in a table.
