Genus Rhopalomeris Verhoeff, 1906 View in CoL

Type species: Rhopalomeris carnifex (Pocock, 1889) View in CoL by subsequent designation.

Remarks: The genus Rhopalomeris is clearly recognized by having antennal tip with numerous sensory cones, telopods with both prefemoral and femoral trichosteles.

To date, five Rhopalomeris species have been described, including R. tonkinensis Silvestri, 1917 from Lang Son Province, northern Vietnam, R. sauda Nguyen, Sierwald & Marek, 2019 from Bac Kan and Vinh Phuc Provinces, northern Vietnam, R. variegata Golovatch & Semenyuk, 2016 from Gia Lai and Kon Tum Provinves, Central Highlands of Vietnam, R. monacha Silvestri, 1917 from Thailand & Malaysia, and R. carnifex (Pocock, 1889) from the Malay Peninsula and adjacent archipelagos within Malaysia, Myanmar and southern Thailand ( Silvestri 1917; Decker 2010; Golovatch et al. 2011; Golovatch & Semenyuk 2016; Golovatch 2017; Nguyen et al. 2019a).
