            <p> Vietnamaptera Zhang, Bai, Heiss &amp; Cai ,  gen. n.</p>
            <p> Type species of the genus:  Vietnamaptera bogiessa Zhang, Bai, Heiss &amp; Cai ,  sp. n.</p>
            <p>Diagnosis: Apterous, medium sized. Body elongate ovate. Head shorter than width across eyes; anterior process longer than first antennal segment; eyes semiglobose, protruding laterally, not pedunculate; postocular lobes broadly rounded, without tubercles; antennae thin, short, less than 1.5 times as long as width of head across eyes; rostrum arising from a partially open atrium, reaching limits of rostral groove (Figs. 1, 3). Pronotum more than 6 times as wide as long at midline; collar thick, with 2(1+1) tubercles near the anterior angles; the latter strongly produced forward as subrectangular lobes, lateral margins strongly concave, posterior margin medially convex. Mesonotum narrow, fused to metanotum and tergites I and II, separated from metanotum by a deep groove, disk with median hump. Metanotum transversely raised medially, sloping laterally, separated by a groove from tergite I. Tergites I and II transversely raised medially, concave laterally, separated medially by deep grooves, fused laterally. Abdominal tergal plate trapezoid, consisting of tergites III to VI, III and IV transversely raised medially, sloping laterally, V and VI sloping posteriorly. Deltg I and II fused, anteriorly reaching to mesonotum. Sternites III to VII strongly convex, ventral external laterotergites I to VII reflexed and visible from above, bearing spiracles II to VII. Paratergite VIII clavate. Pygophore cordate (Fig. 1). Legs slender, without spines; trochanters distinct.</p>
            <p>Distribution: Vietnam.</p>
            <p>Etymology: The generic name refers to the collecting locality, Vietnam, and the apterous form. Feminine.</p>
            <p> Remarks: The dorsally convex habitus of the new genus resembles that of the Oriental apterous  Carventinae Signocoris Hoberlandt, 1958 from India and Singhalaptera Heiss, 2001 from Sri Lanka. It is however distinguished from both by the partially open rostral atrium (closed in both other genera) and by different fusion lines of thoracal and abdominal structures and their outline in lateral view. Morphologically similar structures are also known from apterous genera described from Papua New Guinea and Australia, such as  Biroana Usinger &amp; Matsuda 1959 and  Glyptoaptera Kormilev 1965 , however due to biogeographical considerations no relationship to  Vietnamaptera n.gen. can be assumed. </p>

            <p> Vietnamaptera bogiessa Zhang, Bai, Heiss &amp; Cai ,  sp. n. (Figs. 1–13) </p>
            <p>Description. Color: Body blackish. Eyes reddish.</p>
            <p>Structure: Head, antennae, tubercles of thoracic tergites, posterior angles of deltg, legs and pygophore covered with stiff, curved bristles. Anterior process of head elongate, protruding beyond tip of first antennal segment; genae reaching to apex of clypeus, lateral margins constricted; clypeus longitudinally raised, with dorsal tubercles; antenniferous tubercles large, dentiform; vertex raised, flanked by 2 (1+1) large calli, medially with X-shaped grooves (Fig. 1); antennae 1.04 times as long as width of head across eyes; third and forth segments of equal length, second segment shortest, first shorter than third segment, thickest and curved outward, second tapering toward base, third subcylindrical with petiolate base, fourth fusiform; rostrum reaching limits of rostral groove, the latter deep and wide, closed posteriorly. Pronotum 6.26 times as wide as length at midline, medial region with 2(1+1) short, longitudinal ridges almost reaching to posterior margin; posterior angles with 2 (1+1) large rounded humps; posterior margin sinuate, carinate, depressed medially; laterad of disc granulate. Mesonotum fused to metanotum and tergites I and II which are delimited by transverse grooves and furrows, medially elevated as a large, strong hump with a median longitudinal groove; laterad with 2 (1+1) round depressed sclerites; posterior angles with 2 (1+1) large rounded elevations. Lateral margins of metanotum with 2 (1+1) angulate humps. Legs slender, femora moderately inflated, tibiae cylindrical, nearly straight, preapical comb on fore tibiae present, claws with thin pulvilli. Tergite I with 2 (1+1) large raised humps, medially fused to tergite II, the latter with only a median raised hump posterior to the humps of tergite I. Anterior margin of abdominal tergal plate sinuate, lateral margins convergent, posterior margin straight; tergites III to VI completely fused and raised medially along tergites III-VI, strongly elevated on IV, sloping on V and VI; scent gland scars present; laterad of median hump with usual pattern of glabrous spots. Tergite VII with a transverse arcuate elevation, separated from the tergal plate by a deep groove. Connexiva with glabrous spots as usual with rugose surface; posterolateral angles of deltg of II-VI raised as round tubercles (Figs. 1–2). Paratergites VIII of male clavate, reaching to 4/5 of pygophore. Prosternum with two median ridges, separated from mesosternum by suture; meso- and metasterna separated from each other by a suture. Sterna III to VI smooth, with usual pattern of glabrous spots, sternite VII slightly raised medially into a longitudinal ovate elevation, laterad with 2 (1+1) ovate elevations (Fig. 4).Surface of ventral external laterosternites rugose, lateral margins of I to VII reflexed, progressively protruding and visible from above. Spiracles II to VII lateral and visible from above, VIII terminal. Pygophore cordate, raised medially into a Vshaped elevation extending posteriorly, with a longitudinal suture at middle (Figs. 1, 5–7). Parameres as in Figs. 8–10. Basal plate thick. Capitate process ovate. Strut large (Figs. 11–13).</p>
