Dilobocondyla eguchii sp. nov. and D. propotriangulatus sp. nov. are reported from Vietnam, D. yamanei sp. nov. from Malaysia and D. gaoyureni from China based on worker caste only. Dilobocondyla fouqueti Santschi is redescribed, with reports of male and female castes. A revised key to the genus is also provided.
