Introduction
The genus Plateros Bourgeois, 1879 is the largest in the family of net-winged beetles and includes over 900 species (Kleine 1933; Bocakova 2001; Kazantsev 2011). Most Plateros from Indochina were described by the French coleopterist Maurice Pic in the first half of the twentieth century (Pic 1916, 1921–1922, 1923, 1924–1939, 1927, 1939, 1942). However, following resumption of studies at the turn of the century, now based on the examination of aedeagal structures (Bocakova 1997; Kazantsev 1993, 2005, 2011, 2017, 2021; Kazantsev and Yang 1999), more than 20 synonymies and homonymies have been established, while the number of species of the genus known in the region has more than doubled.
The present study is a further contribution to the knowledge of Plateros of Vietnam. Examination recently collected material from Vietnam in the Naturkundemuseum, Erfurt has led to the discovery of two yet undescribed Plateros species and a species previously known only from China, which brings the number of Vietnamese species to 73 and the number reported from Indochina to 92. Description of the new species is given below, along with a list of all known species of Plateros of Vietnam.
Material and methods
For examination the beetles were relaxed in water, then their detached abdomina were kept for up to 12 h in 10% KOH at room temperature. The KOH-treated aedeagi were then placed in microvials with glycerin for photographing. A MSP-1 zoom stereoscopic dissecting microscope with 8–80× magnification range was used. Photographs were taken with a Canon EOS 6D camera and a Canon MP-E 65 mm lens.

Remark.
In the recently published review of the genus Plateros of Indochina (Kazantsev 2021) certain errors have been discovered. The captions to figures 29–40 (page 52): “29 — P. chinensis; 30 — P. nonus; 31 — P. cinis’ should read: ’29 — P. igneus; 30 — P. nanensis; 31 — P. nemo”. Also, on page 67, left column, in the Plateros propinquus (Waterhouse, 1879) bloc instead of “Ditineces chinensis Waterhouse, 1879: 32" there should be “Ditoneces propinquus Waterhouse, 1879: 32".

Discussion
The Plateros fauna of Vietnam is conspicuously more species-rich than that of any neighbouring country, even with comparable territory and sometimes as diverse as Vietnam in terms of general biodiversity, such as Thailand. For example, while the number of Plateros species in Vietnam is 73, there are only 21 registered members of this genus in Thailand, and only six in Cambodia (Kazantsev 2021). It is true, 25 of the valid Plateros names from Vietnam are authored by Maurice Pic (plus five replaced homonymous names), which sets the share of actually Pic’s taxa in the regional Plateros fauna at 41%. Only eight of these taxa have been identified and illustrated (Kazantsev 2021), 22 are still known only by their rather vague descriptions. For this reason, it is possible that some of the later described taxa may eventually turn out to be conspecific with Pic’s ones. Nevertheless, even if all of these 22 taxa prove to be senior synonyms, which is unlikely, the remaining 51 Vietnamese Plateros species will still surpass the number of Thai ones by more than 2.4 times.
One of the reasons that might explain this is that Vietnam seems to have been better explored, from Pic’s time, i.e. from the beginning of the 20^th^ century. Another reason could be that Vietnam’s rugged forested mountains have better preserved its beetle fauna than perhaps the more cultivated, less rugged landscapes in Thailand. And the third reason could be that Vietnam’s damp maritime climate just better suits the primary moist-forest-dwelling net-winged beetles than most of the biotopes found in Thailand. In any case, the exploration of the net-winged beetle fauna in the whole of Indochina needs to be continued, preferably on a wider scale.
