Genus Rhopalomeris Verhoeff, 1906 View in CoL
Type species. Rhopalomeris carnifex ( Pocock, 1889) View in CoL by subsequent designation.
Remarks. The genus Rhopalomeris is strictly known from the mainland of southeast Asia ( Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia) with four described species ( Golovatch & Semenyuk, 2016). Two have been recorded from Vietnam: R. tonkinensis Silvestri, 1917 from Lang Son Province, northern Vietnam and R. variegata Golovatch & Semenyuk, 2016 from Gia Lai Province in the Highlands of Vietnam. The other two species are known from Thailand, Malaysia ( R. monacha Silvestri, 1917 ) and Myanmar ( R. carnifex Pocock, 1889 ). The genus is characterised by antenna having numerous apical sensory cones, antennomere 6 unusually large, trichosteles present in both the prefemur and femur of telopods. An identification key to Rhopalomeris species was recently provided by Golovatch & Semenyuk (2016).
