Five times over: 42 new Angustopila species highlight Southeast Asia's rich biodiversity (Gastropoda, Stylommatophora, Hypselostomatidae).

The Southeast Asian genus Angustopila, currently comprising 13 nominal species, encompasses the world's tiniest land snails. This work shows that there are far more species than previously suspected, and that this genus is in fact, a very speciose group of tiny snails widely distributed in Southeast Asia. Angustopila is revised based on type material of known species as well as 211 samples newly collected in China, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam. Altogether, 53 species and one subspecies are recognised, of which 42 species and subspecies are new to science: A.akrodon Páll-Gergely & Hunyadi, sp. nov., A.apiaria Páll-Gergely & Hunyadi, sp. nov., A.apiostoma Páll-Gergely & Vermeulen, sp. nov., A.apokritodon Páll-Gergely & Hunyadi, sp. nov., A.antidomedon Páll-Gergely & Hunyadi, sp. nov., A.babel Páll-Gergely & Vermeulen, sp. nov., A.bathyodon Páll-Gergely & Hunyadi, sp. nov., A.bidentata Páll-Gergely & Jochum, sp. nov., A.cavicola Páll-Gergely & Dumrongrojwattana, sp. nov., A.cicatricosa Páll-Gergely & Vermeulen, sp. nov., A.coprologosuninodus Páll-Gergely & Grego, ssp. nov., A.erawanica Páll-Gergely & Dumrongrojwattana, sp. nov., A.fratermajor Páll-Gergely & Vermeulen, sp. nov., A.fraterminor Páll-Gergely & Vermeulen, sp. nov., A.gracilis Páll-Gergely & Hunyadi, sp. nov., A.halongensis Páll-Gergely & Vermeulen, sp. nov., A.hyron Páll-Gergely & Vermeulen, sp. nov., A.maasseni Páll-Gergely & Vermeulen, sp. nov., A.majuscula Páll-Gergely & Hunyadi, sp. nov., A.margaritarion Páll-Gergely & Hunyadi, sp. nov., A.megastoma Páll-Gergely & Vermeulen, sp. nov., A.occidentalis Páll-Gergely & Hunyadi, sp. nov., A.oostoma Páll-Gergely & Vermeulen, sp. nov., A.papaver Páll-Gergely & Hunyadi, sp. nov., A.parallela Páll-Gergely & Hunyadi, sp. nov., A.prolixa Páll-Gergely & Hunyadi, sp. nov., A.pusilla Páll-Gergely & Hunyadi, sp. nov., A.pustulata Páll-Gergely & Hunyadi, sp. nov., A.quadridens Páll-Gergely & Vermeulen, sp. nov., A.rara Páll-Gergely & Hunyadi, sp. nov., A.reticulata Páll-Gergely & Hunyadi, sp. nov., A.somsaki Páll-Gergely & Hunyadi, sp. nov., A.steffeki Páll-Gergely & Grego, sp. nov., A.tetradon Páll-Gergely & Hunyadi, sp. nov., A.thersites Páll-Gergely & Vermeulen, sp. nov., A.tonkinospiroides Páll-Gergely & Vermeulen, sp. nov., A.tridentata Páll-Gergely & Hunyadi, sp. nov., A.tweediei Páll-Gergely & Hunyadi, sp. nov., A.uvula Páll-Gergely & Hunyadi, sp. nov., A.vandevenderi Páll-Gergely & Jochum, sp. nov., A.vitrina Páll-Gergely & Hunyadi, sp. nov., A.vomer Páll-Gergely & Hunyadi, sp. nov., A.werneri Páll-Gergely & Hunyadi, sp. nov. Angustopilasubelevata Páll-Gergely & Hunyadi, 2015 is moved to the synonymy of Angustopilaelevata (F. G. Thompson & Upatham, 1997), and A.singuladentis Inkhavilay & Panha, 2016 is a junior synonym of A.fabella Páll-Gergely & Hunyadi, 2015. Three species, namely A.elevata, A.fabella and A.szekeresi, are widespread over several hundred kilometres while some other species (A.huoyani, A.parallelasp. nov., A.cavicolasp. nov.) are known from just two sites a few hundred kilometres apart. All others are small range or single-site endemics. The reproductive anatomy of A.erawanicasp. nov. is described.

Thailandorchestiarhizophila sp. nov., a new genus and species of driftwood hopper (Crustacea, Amphipoda, Protorchestiidae) from Thailand.

During a scientific survey, a new genus of driftwood hopper was found in mangrove roots in Ko Kut District, Trat Province, Thailand. We placed this new genus, Thailandorchestia gen. nov., within the family Protorchestiidae. The new genus can be distinguished from the remaining genera by uropod 1 outer ramus with robust setae, uropod 2 outer ramus without robust setae, and pereopod 7 basis without a posterodistal lobe. The type species of Thailandorchestia gen. nov., Thailandorchestiarhizophila sp. nov., is described herein, and an updated key to the genera of the family Protorchestiidae is provided.

The terrestrial microsnail genus Aulacospira Möllendorff, 1890 (Eupulmonata, Stylommatophora, Hypselostomatidae) in Thailand with key to Thai species.

Thai terrestrial microsnails in the genus Aulacospira Möllendorff, 1890 are revised based on the collection of the Zoological Research Collection, Burapha University, Chonburi Province, Thailand and recently collected material. Three new species are described: Aulacospira nutadhirai sp.nov. from Southern Thailand, and Aulacospira tekavongae sp.nov. and Aulacospira vanwalleghemi sp. nov. from Eastern Thailand. The radula and genital system are described, and a key to Thai species is presented.

A review of Diplommatina species in eastern Thailand with the descriptions of five new species.

BACKGROUND: Microsnails in the genus Diplommatina Benson, 1849 from eastern Thailand are revised, based on the collection of the Zoological Research Collection, Burapha University, Chonburi Province, Thailand and on recently-collected materials. NEW INFORMATION: Five new species, Diplommatina burapha sp. n., D. chadathongae sp. n., D. chantaburiensis sp. n., D. fusiformis sp. n. and D. khwantongae sp. n., are described as new to science. The geographic distribution of these eastern species is presented.

Grandidierella gilesi Chilton, 1921 (Amphipoda, Aoridae), first encounter of non-indigenous amphipod in the Lam Ta Khong River, Nakhon Ratchasima Province, North-eastern Thailand.

The first record of the non-indigenous, alien amphipod Grandidierella gilesi in the Lam Ta Khong River is presented. Previously, this Indo-Pacific amphipod had only been reported in the Indian Ocean, the Andaman Sea, the Gulf of Thailand, the South China Sea and Australia. In Thailand, G. gilesi was previously reported in an isolated pond in Bangkok. The present study constitutes another record of this species in inland water. The characteristics and variation of G. gilesi, observed in this study, are also discussed. All the specimens described here are preserved at the Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Natural History Museum, Prince of Songkla University, Songkla, Thailand.

Discovery of a new genus and species of dogielinotid amphipod (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Dogielinotidae) from the Nipa palm in Thailand, with an updated key to the genera.

During a scientific survey, a new genus of the dogielinotid amphipoda was found in the Nipa palm (Nypa fruticans) in Bang Krachao Urban Oasis, Samut Prakan Province, Thailand. We placed this new genus, Allorchestoides gen. nov., within the family Dogielinotidae. The new taxa can be easily distinguished from the remaining genera by differences in the incisor of the left and right mandibles, apical robust setae of the maxilla 1, and the large coxa and strong obtuse palm in the female gnathopod 1. The type species of Allorchestoides gen. nov., Allorchestoides rosea n. sp., is described here in, with an updated key to the genera of the family Dogielinotidae.

Two new species of Floresorchestia (Crustacea, Amphipoda, Talitridae) in Thailand.

The beach-hopper and land-hopper genus Floresorchestia Bousfield, 1984 is most widespread in terrestrial and marine littoral habitats and has been recorded from the South African coasts through to tropical Indo-Pacific and Caribbean Sea. In Thailand, there is only Floresorchestia samroiyodensis Azman, Wongkamhaeng & Dumrongrojwattana, 2014 reported from the swamp of Prachuab Kiri Khan, southern Thailand. In this work, two new species of Floresorchestia from Phutsa Reservoir in Nakhon Ratchasima and the man-made swamp in Burapha University are described. The new species are characterised by the mandible left lacinia mobilis 4-dentate; the posterior margin of merus, carpus and propodus covered in palmate setae; the uropod 3 peduncle with two robust setae and the telson longer than broad. The characters of the specimens are described and illustrated in this paper. All specimens are deposited in the Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Natural History Museum, Prince of Songkla University, Thailand.
