Genus Discoxenus Wasmann View in CoL

Wasmann 1904: 655 (original description); Kistner 1982: 165 (revision).

Comments. This genus is similar to Compactopedia Kistner, 1970 , associated with termites of the genus Longipeditermes Haviland, 1898 in Malaysia, from which Discoxenus is distinguished by the body being smaller, the antennae being thicker and the tarsal formula 4-4-5 ( Kistner 1982). It is new record from Thailand.
