Remarks.

Horniella aculeata is readily recognizable by the presence of a large spine on the mesal margin of the protibiae ( Yin and Li 2015: fig. 2F), and the aedeagus with one elongate, twisted sclerite ( Yin and Li 2015: fig. 2K). This species was described based on two male and four female specimens from Yunnan, China, and the present record extends its distribution to Thailand.
