Keywords: genetic connections, Hemisphaeriini, Issinae, morphology, new species, soil trap, southeastern Asia

Abstract

Three new species of the genus Superciliaris Meng, Qin & Wang, 2020 are described from southern Vietnam, Malaysia (northern Borneo), and Indonesia (northern Sulawesi). The genus is recorded for the first time from mainland Asia and Sunda Archipelago. A key to species of Superciliaris is given. The relationships of the species are discussed.
