Remarks. The genus Enghoffosoma was created by Golovatch (1993) and currently comprises seven species ranging from southern China in the north to northwestern Myanmar in the south, as well as eastern Thailand and western Laos. The genus is currently assigned to the tribe Paradoxosomatini, being characterized by a slender to stout gonopod femorite which is mostly enlarged distad; the postfemoral region shows a very thick and rather short solenomere while the solenophore is strongly reduced to a ventral process. A more detailed diagnosis can be found in Likhitrakarn et al. (2014).
