A new species, Margites lobanovi Miroshnikov, sp. n., is described from southern Vietnam. It is very similar to M. prothemicollis Jacquot, 2019 from northern Vietnam, but differs by the significantly longer antennae, the more strongly elongate many antennomeres, the somewhat peculiar structure of the pronotum, in particular, the anterior margin being broadly rounded, the presence of a strongly developed shiny median area in the basal part, the slightly shorter elytra, as well as by the structure of the genitalia, namely, the clearly narrower penis uniformly narrowed towards apex in the apical part, its ventral lobe being clearly greater extending beyond apex of the dorsal lobe, the significantly narrower tegmen, the distinctly narrower and more strongly elongate parameres, its apicies being more strongly sharpened, the clearly wider tergite 8 being shortly truncate apically
