Genus 14. Sinotilla Lelej, 1995

Diagnosis. FEMALE. This genus can be recognized by having the mesosoma with a scutellar scale and T6 convex without any trace of a defined pygidium. Other useful features are discussed by Okayasu (2017). MALE. See Lelej (1995b).

Diversity and Distribution. This genus includes 21 species in the eastern Oriental region ( Okayasu 2017, Okayasu et al. 2018).

Remarks. The females of this genus were recently reviewed by Okayasu (2017). The species treated here, including two newly recorded from Thailand, were identified using his keys. In minor features, they differ from other specimens of those taxa. Comparison of larger series or discovery of the males could necessitate that these be described as new species.
