Abstract
Two centipede genera, Alluropus Silvestri, 1912, and Rhysida Wood, 1862, were examined within the context of Vietnam’s fauna. According to literature and 316 recently collected specimens, four species have been documented, including a new species, Rhysida vietnga sp. nov. Their distribution is updated, and an identification key to the Vietnamese species is also provided.
