Differential diagnosis
Siamopsis renateae gen. et sp. nov. differs from the other species of the new genus by the presence of a strongly arched dorsal margin, resulting in the subtriangular carapace in lateral view (elongated shape in other species), the postero-dorsal plate on LV having two small, teeth-like tubercles on the inner border and the absence of tiny tubercle-like structures under the RV posterior inner list. Additionally, the ya and accompanying seta on A1 are subequal in length in S. renateae gen. et sp. nov. while the length of the accompanying seta is ca ⅔ that of ya in other species of Siamopsis gen. nov. Compared to the g-seta on T2, the length of the seta located next to the g-seta is short (ca ⅓ of g-seta) in S. renateae gen. et sp. nov. The length of this seta is ca half of that of the g-seta in other species of Siamopsis gen. nov.
