The diversity of anostracans in Myanmar is poorly known. A series of biodiversity surveys had been con-ducted in Myanmar, and two species of Streptocephalus were collected in the central dry zone. Streptocepha-lus sirindhornae Sanoamuang et al., 2000 is reported in Myanmar for the first time, and Streptocephalusshinsawbuae sp. n. is described as new. Streptocephalus shinsawbuae sp. n. belongs to the S. dichotomusgroup and is similar to S. simplex Bond, 1934 and S. sahyadriensis Rogers & Padhye, 2014, but can bedistinguished by the form of the male antennal posterior primary ramus and anterior primary ramus apexand egg ornamentation. Streptocephalus dichotomus has been reported from Myanmar in the past but wasnot found in this survey.
