Abstract
|
|
|
|
Three halacarid species belonging to the genus Copidognathus are recorded from the shallow subtidal sands at Ko Taenae Is let (sand dune) off Ko Pha?Ngan Island. Thailand: Copidognathus thailandicus n. sp., C. euryalus Bartsch, 1997 and C. orarius Otto, 2001. Copidognathus thailandicus n. sp. comes close with C. cribrosoma (Police, 1909) and C. cribellus Bartsch, 1993 due to dorsal plates completely covered with rosette pores. Dissimilarities among them are discussed. Copidognathus euiyalus and C. orarius are recorded here for the first time from Thailand and away from its type locality. The present paper is also the first contribution on the taxonomy of Halacaridae (Acari) from Thailand.
