Abstract

Arctopsyche mesogona sp.n., A. vietnamensis sp.n. and A. cervinata sp.n. are newly described from the Fan Si Pan Mountain Range of North Vietnam. These species belong to the compasita—group, which is a Palaearctic faunal element in an area which is conventionally regarded as part of the Oriental Region. Phylogenetic relationships of the species are examined.
