Abstract
Recent entomological surveys in Laos have revealed new species of myrmecophilous flangedbombardier beetles. Here we describe and illustrate Paussus serraticornis sp.nov., a paussine characterizedmainly by its distinctive antennal club. It shares characters with members of the Paussus hystrix and P.cucullatus groups.
