Abstract:

Two new species of Nephrocerus collected in Primorye and Amur district (Russian SFSR, USSR) are described. N. nevskajae sp. n. is similar to N. scutellatus Macq. differing from its by the considerably lesser body size and partically bare hypopyge of the male, and larger 3rd segment of the antenna. N. fatalis sp. n. differs from the known representatives of the genus by the ususally thick and long setae on the apical structrues of the male's hypopyge, and a number of other characters.
