Abstract
The Paussinae of Laos were recently studied based on new material collected by the Natural History Museum Basel. Two species are described as being new to science, Lebioderus brancuccii sp.nov., and Paussus lanxangensis sp.nov., and two species are new records for Laos. All species are shown in drawings. To date nine species are known from Laos, four of which have been added by the NHMB collecting trips, and a fifth new record is based on other museum collections.
