The lace bug genus Alloiothucha Drake, 1927 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Tingidae) is recorded from Laos for the first time with the redescription of Alloiothucha artocarpi (Horvth, 1926), which has been originally described from Indonesia (Java Island) in Latin. This species was collected on jackfruit, Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam. (Moraceae) in Laos, and may represent a pest of potential future concern. An identification key to all described species of Alloiothucha and arguments for a junior synonymy of Cetiothucha is presented: Alloiothucha Drake, 1927 = Cetiothucha Drake Ruhoff, 1965, syn. nov. Two new combinations are proposed: Alloiothucha constanti (Guilbert, Pham Soulier-Perkins, 2018), comb. nov. and Alloiothucha physalia (Drake Ruhoff, 1965), comb. nov. from Cetiothucha.
Lace bug 属 Alloiothucha Drake, 1927（半翅目：异翅目：Tingidae）首次在老挝被记录，其中 Alloiothucha artocarpi (Horvth, 1926) 的重新描述也被记录，该物种最初是在拉丁美洲的印度尼西亚（爪哇岛）描述的。该物种是在老挝的木菠萝（Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam.）上采集的，可能是未来潜在关注的害虫。本文提供了 Alloiothucha 所有描述物种的鉴定关键，并提出了 Cetiothucha 的一个低级同义词论点：Alloiothucha Drake, 1927 = Cetiothucha Drake Ruhoff, 1965， syn. nov. 提出了两个新的组合：Alloiothucha constanti (Guilbert, Pham Soulier-Perkins, 2018)，comb. nov. 和 Alloiothucha physalia (Drake Ruhoff, 1965)，comb. nov. 来自 Cetiothucha。
