Zyras (Zyras) sp. 1 M a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d: Vietnam: 1♀, 6 km NW Sa Pa, 22°22'N, 103°47'E, 1810 m, margin of pasture with bushes and small trees, litter and roots sifted, 7.VIII.2013, leg. Assing (cAss). C o m m e n t: The above female probably represents an undescribed species closely allied to Zyras setosivestis SCHEERPELTZ, 1965, a species described and known only from Burma. It differs from Z. funestus, which belongs to the same species group, by distinctly larger size, darker coloration, much longer and more slender antennae, and by the distinctly finer and shallower punctation of the forebody.
