Distribution in Thailand. Chiang Mai (N). Habitat: mostly above 800 m. in various massifs of the Chiang Mai province; litter and soil at 700–2550 m. in Doi Inthanon forest.

Remark. The cited records are likely to belong to the genus Thalassaphorura Bagnall , as the genus Protaphorura seems to be absent in the tropics. Six forms of uncertain taxonomic status have been recognized in Doi Inthanon (Bedos 1994).
