Abstract

Ceropria adelpha n. sp. from West Malaysia and C. foveata n. sp. from Sumatra are described, illustrated, and compared with the similar species C. speciosissima Gebien, 1914. The male of C. adelpha is distinguished by different shape of elytral mucro and aedeagus, different structure of last abdominal ventrite, and densely punctured elytral striae. The female is unknown. C. foveata is known only from the female, but the species is readily identifiable by foveate outer punctural rows of elytra.
