Abstract

Schedolimulus komatsui Kanao & Maruyama, n. sp. (Aleocharinae, Trichopseniini) is described from Khao Yai National Park, East Thailand. This is a new record of Trichopseniini from Thailand. Phorilimulus Pasteels & Kistner, 1971 is synonymized with Schedolimulus Pasteels & Kistner, 1971, and Schedolimulus is redescribed. Phorilimulus minutus Pasteels & Kistner, 1971 is transferred to Schedolimulus. A key to the species of Schedolimulus is given.
