Two new species of the superfamily Oripodoidea, Maculobates bruneiensis sp. nov. and Perscheloribates interlamellaris sp. nov., are described from Brunei. The first new species differs from other species of Maculobates by the presence of an anterior notogastral margin and a specific furrow on ventral side. The second new species differs from other species of Perscheloribates by the microfoveolate body surface. The genera Maculobates and Perscheloribates are for the first time recorded in Brunei; Maculobates is for the first time recorded in the Oriental region.
