Abstract
Three new species of this genus were described in 1961 and 1962 by M. L. Tardieu-Blot. In their original account, Evrard and Tardieu cited five specimens of the first species, D. laoticum, which were collected from Laos and South Vietnam. Of the other two species, D. petelotii Tard. from North Vietnam and D. schmidii Tard. from Cochin-China, only one specimen of each is cited. The present investigation indicates that two of these species do not belong to the genus Dracontomelon Bl.
