Abstract

Fourteen species of Pauropoda are reported from altitudes above 1000 m in north-western Thailand, among them one species belonging to a new genus in Pauropodidae, Angkapauropus gen. n., and one species in Borneopauropus, a genus in Brachypauropodidae, a family not previously reported from Thailand. The species new to science are: Decapauropus prolixus sp. n., D. capillaris sp. n., D. brevilingulus sp. n., D. premnos sp. n., D. anatanosus sp. n., D. undulatulus sp. n., and Angkapauropus leptotrichos gen. n., sp. n. (all in Pauropodidae); Borneopauropus platylopas sp. n. (Brachypauropodidae); Samarangopus choanephorus sp. n. (Eurypauropodidae), and Sphaeropauropus angulatus sp. n. (Sphaeropauropodidae).
