Abstract

A new species of Aphelopus Dalman is described from Thailand, Sakon Nakhon: A. fuscoflavus sp. n. Morphologically the new species is similar to A. zonalis Xu, Olmi & He, 2013, known from China, Hainan, but it is clearly different in having the basivolsella fused with the paramere, while the basivolsella is not fused with the paramere in A. zonalis. Published identification keys to the Oriental species of Aphelopus are modified to include the new species.
