Zusammenfassung:

Two new species of Zephronia sensu stricto, both coming from Chiang Mai Province, northern Thailand, are described: Z. lannaensis, new species and Z. phrain, new species. Both these species seem to be especially similar to Z. laotica Wesener, 2019, but clearly distinct by telopoditomere 2 of the anterior telopods showing a sclerotized process located inside a membranous area, coupled with leg-pair 3 featuring one or two dorso-apical spine(s).
