Remarks: According to our re-delimitation of Oedothorax in the present study, this species does not belong to Oedothorax, but is probably related to ‘ Oe. ’ myanmar or ‘ Oe. ’ kodaikanal . Further comparison with more species to determine the taxonomic status of these ‘ Oedothorax ’ incertae sedis species is required. Therefore, we provisionally do not change its genus.
