Diagnosis. A species of the induratus subgroup. Differing from all other species in the subgroup by having one or more denticles in the middle of tibial spine (ti) and by having anterior coxal fold (ac) apically bent abruptly mesad with an acute narrowed, slender tip.
Description. Adult males with 57–71 podous rings, no apodous rings. Length 15–21 cm, width 8.0– 12.9 mm. Adult females with 64–71 podous rings, no apodous rings. Length 13–20 cm, width 9.4–14.1 mm. Overall color of living animal in some populations ( Fig. 10A View FIGURE 10. A, B ) dark brown, with prozonite brownish grey and epiproct reddish brown. In some populations, overall color of living animal ( Fig. 10B View FIGURE 10. A, B ) reddish brown.
Gonopods ( Figs. 3 View FIGURE 3 A–E): Anterior coxal fold (ac) ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 A) basally slender, becoming broader towards tip, apically bent abruptly mesad, with acute, slender tip. Posterior coxal fold (pc) ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 B) basally with moderately high lateral paracoxites (px); mesal process (pmp) slightly lower than ac, forming shelf (sh) for accommodation of telopodite, distally directed distolaterad. Telopodite ( Figs. 3 View FIGURE 3 C–E) leaving coxite over shelf of posterior coxal fold; femoral spine (fe) relatively long, curving in a horizontal plane, in situ resting along apical part of ac; tibial spine (ti) very long, slender, curving in an oblique-sagittal plane, in the middle sometimes with a single denticle (de) (rarely with several denticles) directed laterally, its tip in situ close to tip of fe and ac; apical part: lamellar lobe (ll) broad, rounded, transparent; palette (pa) simple, basally with an uncate subterminal lobe (usl) ventrally; distally with about six to eight brownish blepharochaetae (bp).
Notes. Colour: some specimens are overall dark brown, some are reddish brown; specimens from Laos have a longitudinal brown band mid-dorsally on the body, not seen in Thai specimens. The gonopods show some variation of the tip of anterior coxal fold (ac): some specimens with a relatively short, blunt tip, others with a narrower, relatively long, almost sharp tip. The femoral spine (fe) is relatively short in some specimens, but in Tak and Kamphaengphet specimens it is much longer and is distinctly crenulated along its inner curvature. The tibial spine (ti) has a denticle (de) (sometimes several denticles) on the outer margin at mid-length or slightly further distal in some specimens, others lack such denticles.
Concerning Thyropisthus resimus sensu Demange (1961) View in CoL , see above under T. induratus View in CoL . The specimen from “Northern Thailand Silang” recorded as T. confusus tenuispinus View in CoL by Demange (1983) is in fact a T. resimus View in CoL , see list of material for interpretation of ‘Silang’. A specimen from the orchid museum, Bangkok, also recorded as T. confusus tenuispinus View in CoL by Demange (1983) is in fact a T. allevatus View in CoL . These are so far the only records of T. confusus View in CoL from Thailand, so this species should be removed from the list of Thai species.
