Abstract

OdontosphaeropyxmatasiQuicke & Butcher,sp. n.from Thailand is described and illustrated. The new species represents the first known record ofOdontosphaeropyxfrom outside of the Afrotropical Region. A key is provided to separate it from the apparently closely relatedO.flavifasciatusZettel, 1990, with which it shares almost identical colouration, very different from the other five known species.
