Optical and near infrared spectroscopy of the stars DQ Ser and DT Ser are presented. DQ Ser shows a late-type continuum (M3 - M5) with emission lines of Balmer series, HeI, HeII, [OIII], OI and CaII triplet while DT Ser presents a earlier spectral type with emission of Balmer lines, HeI, HeII and [OIII]. DT Ser is a faint star 5 arcsec from a G companion. We suggest it to be a yellow symbiotic star.
Key words: stars: binaries: symbiotic / stars: emission line / stars: DQ Ser, DT Ser
