Two new species of reticulated beetles (Cupedidae) are described: Tenomerga angulinota sp. nov. from Laos and T. helii sp. nov. from Sichuan, China. Important morphological characters of both new species are illustrated. T. angulinota sp. nov. can be easily recognized from all other Palaearctic-Oriental species by bifid anterior angles of pronotum; T. helii sp. nov. is in habitus very similar to widespread T. anguliscutis (Kolbe, 1886) and can be distinguished based on shape of pronotum, colour pattern of elytra and predominantly male genitalia. In addition, T. anguliscutis is for the first time recorded from Hainan and Jiangxi Provinces of China.
描述了两种新的网纹甲虫（复变甲科）：来自老挝的角突十节甲新种（Tenomerga angulinota sp. nov.）和来自中国四川的赫氏十节甲新种（T. helii sp. nov.）。文中展示了这两个新物种的重要形态特征。角突十节甲新种可通过前胸背板的双叉状前角与所有其他古北界-东洋界物种轻易区分开来；赫氏十节甲新种在体型上与分布广泛的角盾十节甲（Kolbe，1886）非常相似，可根据前胸背板形状、鞘翅的颜色图案以及主要是雄性生殖器来区分。此外，角盾十节甲首次在中国海南省和江西省被记录到。
