Abstract

A revision of the genus Puranoides from Malaysia has led to the discovery of two new species that need to be described as new to science namely Puranoides ismaili sp. nov. from Sabah and Puranoides schouteni sp. nov. from Johor and Pahang. Both species are differed from each other and located under the same species group.
