Figs 33–38 , 44–50

Oedothorax asocialis Wunderlich, 1974: 172 , described ♀, examined.

Gorbothorax ungibbus Tanasevitch, 1998: 428 , described ♂, examined, new synonymy.

Gorbothorax aff. ungibbus Tanasevitch, 2011: 573 , examined.

Type. Oedothorax asocialis Wunderlich, 1974 ,

holotype ♀, SMF 28891/1 , NEPAL, Jiri, 1800–2000 m a.s.l., leg. J. Martens, I.1970, det. Wunderlich, 1973 (examined). A tube contents a carapace and an opisthosoma separately, epigynum lost. Gorbothorax ungibbus Tanasevitch, 1998 (named as Oedothorax u.) ,

holotype ♂, SMF 38838 , NEPAL, Sanishare, 5 km N of Siwalik Mts , 230–300 m a.s.l., leg. J. Martens & Schawaller, 3.–5.IV.1988, det. A. Tanasevitch. The vial has a male with a palp in a microvial.

Remarks. Both species, Oedothorax asocialis and Gorbothorax ungibbus , were described from Nepal, the former from a female, the latter from a male ( Wunderlich 1974, Tanasevitch 1998). Based on study of rich fresh material from different regions of Southeastern Asia and restudy of type material, G. ungibbus corresponds to the male of O. asocialis . Hence, of Gorbothorax ungibbus Tanasevitch, 1998 becomes a junior subjective synonym of Oedothorax asocialis Wunderlich, 1974 n . syn., whereas O. asocialis , because of the synonymy of Gorbothorax with Nasoona , becomes Nasoona asocialis ( Wunderlich, 1974) n. comb.
