Based on recent fieldwork in northern Vietnam, we herein report a new population of <i>Quasipaaacanthophora</i> from Dong Son-Ky Thuong Nature Reserve in Quang Ninh Province. In addition, we provide data on the diet of <i>Q.acanthophora</i>, based on stomach content analyses of 38 individuals (10 males, 17 females, 11 subadults). A total of 27 prey categories containing 446 items were found in the stomachs of <i>Q.acanthophora</i>. The dominant prey items of the species were Blattodea, Coleoptera (Other Coleoptera), Orthoptera (Gryllidae), Decapoda and Hymenoptera (Formicidae). The most important (IRI) groups amongst the prey of Q.acanthophora were Blattidae (32.67%), followed by Gryllidae (9.11%), other Coleoptera (6.57%), Decapoda (5.72%) and Formicidae (5.61%).
