Abstract - Calabresia marcoi n. sp., from southern Vietnam, is described based on two male specimens from Bao Loc (Lam Dong province). The new taxon is close to Calabresia sapaensis Kabakov, 2001, from northern Vietnam, but it differs from the latter for the more developed elytral apical tips and the different arrangement of elytral markings. The synonymy between Calabresia distributa (Kleine, 1925) and Calabresia iridescens (Calabresi, 1920) (n. syn.), from peninsular Malaysia, is also established. The genus Calabresia Alonso-Zarazaga, Lyal, Bartolozzi & Sforzi, 1999 currently includes seven species.
