The Sinopacific distributed genus Morimotoidius Habu, 1954, is redescribed, and two new species, M. kataevi Schmidt sp. nov. and M. zhuxiaoyui Bolkiboev & Liang sp. nov., are described from northern Vietnam and southern China, respectively. Illustrations of the habitus and genitalia of the new species, along with a map showing the distributions of all known species of the genus, are presented. While the other Morimotoidius species previously known from mainland China are adapted to cave life, the two species newly described here do not exhibit such adaptations and are more similar in this respect to the species found in Japan and Taiwan. Our findings indicate that the genus has a much wider distribution than previously known, extending southwestward across mainland China into the mountainous regions of Indochina.
