Uvarov (1940) substituted Psyra for Psyrana , which was erected by Stål (1876), due to preoccupation. Subsequently, many authors (Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1878, 1891; Kirby, 1900; Fritze & Carl, 1908; Karny, 1920, 1923, 1931; Carl, 1921; Shiraki, 1930; Willemse, 1933, 1953; Ichikawa, 2001) described 22 species and 2 subspecies, among which 18 species were described from Oriental Region, 4 species and 2 subspecies were distributed in Japan. Recently there has been recorded one species Psyrana japonica Shiraki from Taiwan Island ( Huang, 2004), and no other species from China mainland. In this paper, we describe two new species, one from China, another from Vietnam.
