Abstract. The paper comprises a revision of the genus Vietterchnus endemic to the Indo-Malayan Region (V. finitimus finitimus Kirejtshuk, 1985; V. f. indiensis ssp. n.; V. philippinensis Kirejtshuk, 1987; V. plagiatus sp. n.; V. sulawesiensis sp. n.; V. s. septentrionalis ssp. n.) and description of Ceramphosia cornuta gen. et sp. n., presumably closely related to Viettherchnus.
