The newly described species, Paraputo raufi Zarkani & Kaydan, sp. nov. and Paraputo martonoi Zarkani & Kaydan, sp. nov., are each compared with other species of Paraputo to which they show notable morphological similarities. An updated taxonomic key to species of Paraputo found in Southeast and southern Asia is provided. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.1249.159569
