Abstract: Eulichas pantherina sp. nov. from Laos is described, illustrated and compared
with related species. The new species belongs to the E. pacholatkoi species

different shape of male genitalia. Eulichas pantherina sp. nov. has a lanceolate
median lobe and parameres with a very small subapical hook moved to the mid-
length of the paramere. New distributional data are published for the following
species: Eulichas haucki Hájek, 2007, and E. pacholatkoi Jäch, 1995, from
Laos, and E. kubani Hájek, 2007, from Thailand.
