ABSTRACT. Two new species of the genus Plateros Bourgeois, 1879, P. aquilus Kazantsev, sp.n. and P. corvinus Kazantsev, sp.n., are described from Thailand. Three species, Plateros guomenshanicus Kazantsev, 2025, P. raotensis Kazantsev, 2021 and P. tenebrosus Kazantsev, 2011, are registered for Thailand for the first time. This increases the number of Plateros species in Indochina to 95, and the number of species registered in Thailand, with the discovery of another three species previously known only from southwestern China and Vietnam, to 25. An annotated checklist of Plateros species of Thailand is also provided.
