Abstract

A new genus Dolichocaudus gen. n. with two new species, D. acicephalus sp. n. and D. brevicephalus sp. n., is described and illustrated based on specimens from China and Thailand. This new genus differs from the closely related genera Transvenosus Wang & Zhang and Cunedda Distant in having a larger body, digitiform male pygofer apex, strongly elevated and keel-like median longitudinal carina of the crown and indistinctively inflated anteclypeus, and front femur row AV with 6 enlarged basal setae.
