(male: Laos, Luang Nam Tha Prov.), Malamatidia zu spec. nov. (male: Laos, Luang Prabang Prov.) and Malamatidia christae spec. nov. (female: Laos, Luang Nam Tha Prov.). The genus Malamatidia, previously known from Sumatra, Sarawak, the Malaysian peninsular, Kalimantan, and Sulawesi is recorded from Laos (Luang Nam Tha Province) as northernmost distribution locality and is re-diagnosed.
