Abstract
Asadeteva U. Aspöck & H. Aspöck, 1981 (Neuroptera, Berothidae), has been traditionally considered a Palearctic faunal element. Asadeteva was originally described from Afghanistan and Pakistan, while recent report has extended its known range into the Oriental Region. Herein, we report two new species of Asadeteva from Thailand, namely Asadeteva christophi U. Aspöck & H. Aspöck sp. nov. and Asadeteva thailandica sp. nov. This discovery highlights the presence and diversity of this genus in the Oriental Region. A distribution map and a revised key to the species of Asadeteva are also provided.
