Abstract: Autocrates soni sp. nov. is described from Vietnam based on morphological and
molecular evidence. This beetle is characterised by reddish-brown pubescence on
its ventral side and much shorter setae on its femora compared to the closely
related species Autocrates vitalisi Vuillet, 1912. The validity of this new
species is strongly supported by DNA barcode data from all known species of the
genus Autocrates.
