Abstract

The Aganainae fauna of Laos contains 10 species, which are known from the northern part of the country (north of Vientiane). In this article, we report on the first records of two species from Laos: Euplocia membliaria (Cramer, 1780) (Champasak province, 14°36'26"N, 105°53'55"E) and Asota javana (Cramer, 1780) (Attapu province, 14°44'08"N, 107°29'17"E). Additionally, we present new data on the distribution of eight species of Aganainae in three southern provinces of Laos: Champasak, Sekong, and Attapu. The updated list of the Aganainae fauna of Laos contains 12 species.
