TETHINIDAE

There was no species listed in the CDO (STEYSKAL & SASAKAWA 1977). Although the knowledge on the Oriental (and other) Tethinidae is steadily developing, only one species has hitherto been recorded from Thailand.

Pseudorhicnoessa spinipes MALLOCH, 1914 – 1 f: PF04/32. It is not a surprise to find this species in again, after being first recorded from Thailand by MUNARI (2005). It is widespread in the Pacific Ocean region and known also from Malaysia, Vietnam, the Philippines and Taiwan.
