The genus Rhynchium Spinola, 1806, is studied in Vietnam. Two species are recorded, namely, R. brunneum brunneum (Fabricius, 1793) and R. haemorrhoidale haemorrhoidale (Fabricius, 1775). A key to Vietnamese species of the genus is presented along with new distributional records. Twenty-one species and 36 subspecies are listed in a first checklist of species of the genus. New synonymy proposed in the present study is R. brunneum ceylonicum Giordani Soika, 1994, under the nominotypical subspecies R. b. brunneum (Fabricius, 1793).
