Remarks. This is the first local record of Parasyscia . The specimen mostly confers with the holotype of P. dohertyi, based on online type images and descriptions in Wilson (1959). However, we observed a few differences between the Singapore specimen and the holotype that may warrant a reassessment of species in future, should more local material be available: 1) head slightly wider, CI 91 compared to CI 88 in the holotype; 2) posteroventral corner of head projected distinctly as rounded lobe (projection more shallow in the holotype); 3) generally smaller in size, petiole and postpetiole widths 0.58 and 0.68 mm respectively (0.66 and 0.80 mm in the holotype).
