Likhitrakarn, Natdanai, Jeratthitikul, Ekgachai, Jirapatrasilp, Parin & Wesener, Thomas, 2024, Integrated taxonomy of three new species of Glyphiulus Gervais, 1847 (Diplopoda, Spirostreptida, Cambalopsidae) from Laos, Raffles Bulletin of Zoology 72, pp. 42-61 : 56

Glyphiulus sp. 1

Material examined. 1 female ( ZFMK MYR-10011 A) , 1 female ( ZFMK MYR-10011 B), Laos, Houaphan Province, Xam Neua, Tham Lo (F48-125-119), 20°33′31.1″N, 104°01′24.2″E, 9 January 2014, leg. H. Steiner.

Remarks. Based on somatic characteristics alone, these specimens resemble the members of the genus Glyphiulus described from Laos. This species lives in direct sympatry to Glyphiulus houaphanhensis , new species ( Fig. 7 ), a rare occurrence in Cambalopsidae species. We do not name this species because only a female is available.
