A systematic search for superbursts in the RXTE/ASM archive up to June 2009 of all type I X-ray bursters known to date revealed previously unnoticed long- duration events. Two candidate superbursts were found in ASM data of Ser X-1. One superburst was previously known for this source (Cornelisse et al. 2002, A&A 382, 174). The new ones occurred on 1999 Aug 9 (MJD 51399) and 2008 Oct 14 (MJD 54753).
