Randallopsallus paracastaneae Yasunaga,2013:197 (sp. nov.); YASUNAGA et al.(2016): 445 (status of type depository). Type material. HOLOTYPE: J, THAILAND: NAKHON RATCHASIMA: Wang Nam Khiao, Udom Sap, Sakaerat Environmental Research Station ( SERS), N14.507645 E101.927677, 410 m alt., UV light trap, 15–16 Sep 2008, T. Yasunaga ( AMNH _ PBI 00379407 About AMNH ) ( DOAT). PARATYPES: Same data as for the holotype, 3 JJ 5 ♀♀ ( AMNH _ PBI 00379408–00379415 About AMNH ) ( AMNH, CNC & TYCN) GoogleMaps ; same data, except for date 28 Oct 2008, T. Yasunaga, 1 J 1 ♀ (00379416–00379417) ( TYCN), and 31 May 2012, T. Yasunaga, 1 ♀ (00379498) ( TYCN) GoogleMaps .

Additional material examined. THAILAND: Same locality ( SERS), UV light trap, 12 Dec 2015, T. Yasunaga, 2 JJ 4 ♀♀ ( TYCN, without USIs).

Diagnosis. Recognized by its moderate size; antennal segment II more than four times as long as I; dark apical 2/5–1/3 of basally yellowish brown antennal segment II; scent efferent system with a distinct knob ( Fig. 24 View Figs 18–27 ); uniformly chocolate (in fresh specimen reddish) brown metacoxa and metafemur; short metatarsomere I (proportion of metatarsomeres I–III = 2: 4: 5); and distinctive form of male ( Figs 28–32 View Figs 28–35 ) and female ( Figs 44–46 View Figs 36–47 ) genitalia. See YASUNAGA (2013) for detailed description.

Measurements. See Table 1.

Biology. Collection records suggest R. paracastaneae has at least two generations per year; fresh adult individuals ( Fig. 1 View Figs 1–6 , females with the reddish femora, and Fig. 12 View Figs 6–17 ) were collected by using UV light trap in May, September and December.

Distribution. Central Thailand (Nakhon Ratchasima).
