CYPSELOSOMATIDAE

In the CDO there is no cypselosomatid record from Thailand. ANDERSSON (1976) revised the species of Formicosepsis (and those of the Lycosepsis , which he regarded as subgenus of Formicosepsis ). No new species have been added since that time. We managed to capture 35 cypselosomatid specimens in 2004 and 58

specimens in 2003, which represent six species, three of them are described below as new.

Cypselosoma gephyrae HENDEL, 1913 – 1 m: PF04/17; 4 m: FSz03/9; 1 m: FSz03/17. Careful studies in the future may reveal that this extremely widespread Oriental species is a species complex and so it must be divided into several species .

Formicosepsis barbipes ANDERSSON, 1976 – 1 m: PF04/42. It was described from Java; new to Thailand.
