Descriptions and new records of tiger beetles of tribe Collyridini are presented and discussed. Five species are described as a new: Tricondyla (s. str.) complanata sp. n., Protocollyris konchurangensis sp. n., and Neocollyris (Brachycollyris) napolovi sp. n. from Vietnamese Provinces Phu Tho, Gia Lai and Thanh Hoa, respectively; Tricondyla (s. str.) kompantsevi sp. n. from Cambodian Province Kampot; Neocollyris (Isocollyris) saluki sp. n. from Chinese Province Sichuan. Neocollyris (s. str.) intermedia Naviaux, 1994 is recorded for the first time from China (Yunnan Provinces) and Neocollyris (s. str.) hengoati Naviaux, 2010 is recorded from Vietnam (Quảng Ninh Province) for the first time. New provincial-level records include two species from Phang Nga, and one species from Trat in Thailand, one species from Utara in Sulawesi, Indonesia, and one species from Puttalam in North Western Province, Sri Lanka.
