Redescription. Body length 1.7–2.0 mm (holotype 1.8 mm), maximum body width 1.0– 1.2 mm (holotype 1.0 mm). Head and labrum black; pronotum uniformly yellowish or brown centrally and gradually getting paler towards margins; elytra uniformly yellowish to pale brown, with slightly darkened striae; legs yellowish. Head without microsculpture on interstices; punctation sparse, each puncture bearing yellowish pointed seta. Eyes separated by 3.1× the width of one eye in dorsal view. Pronotum with sparse setiferous punctation similar to that on head; interstices without microsculpture. Elytra with 10 striae sharply impressed except anteromedially (near scutellar shield) where neither striae nor serial punctures are visible; intervals weakly convex at midlength and near apex; interval punctation sparse, setiferous; interstices without microsculpture. Aedeagus ( Figs 9 View Fig F–J) 0.7 mm long. Phallobase widened in apical half, widest shortly below bases of parameres (slightly wider than parameres combined); weakly arcuate in lateral view. Parameres short, narrowly elongate, constricted at midlength, widened into rounded lobes apically; widely triangular in lateral view. Median lobe narrow, shorter than parameres, sharply pointed, without membranous apex of paired subapical lobes; gonopore circular, situated subapically.
Differential diagnosis. Thysanarthria siamensis is very characteristic by a relatively large aedeagus with lanceolate parameres and sharply pointed median lobe and is hence hard to be confused with any other species of the genus.
Biology. Specimens from India: Uttarkhand were collected at the sides of small to large stony rivers, microhabitat is unknown (M. A. Jäch, pers. comm.).
Distribution. The species is widespread, ranging from western Himalaya to central Thailand and northern Laos.
