Remarks: The adult male and female of Felicola siamensis were described by Emerson (1964a), noting that they were morphologically similar to Felicola hercynianus Kéler, 1957 , with the former species easily distinguished by the fewer number of setae on abdominal sternites and tergites IV-VII in the females, and the narrower basal junction between the endomera in the male genitalia ( Emerson 1964a). There is no information on the ecology of F. siamensis .
