Carpelimus (Trogophloeus) parisimplex, sp.n., a new species of rove beetle from Thailand and Vietnam is described and illustrated.The new species belongs to the simplex species group, which previously included 8 species.Four species are from Tropical Africa and four species from the Oriental Biogeographic Region.The new species is most similar to C. simplex, which has long been considered to be widespread in the Oriental Region, but this is incorrect.Carpelimus (Trogophloeus) parisimplex, sp.n.differs from C. simplex only in the structure of the aedeagus and, to some extent, in its distribution; so far, it is known only from Thailand and Vietnam, where C. simplex is unknown.Finding of another unknown species from the "simplex" species group in Thailand and Vietnam is of particular interest. : Carpelimus (Trogophloeus) parisimplex, sp.n.
