Beschreibungen/Notizen

• A new, giant species of from a cave in southern Thailand is described, illustrated, and compared to morphologically closely related taxa. This new species, , is much larger than all other congeners and looks especially similar to the grossly sympatric Golovatch, Geoffroy, Mauriès & VandenSpiegel, 2012, which is widespread in southern Thailand. Phylogenetic trees, both rooted and unrooted, based on a concatenated dataset of the COI and 28S genes of nine species of Cambalopsidae ( , , and ), strongly support the monophyly of and a clear-cut divergence between and in revealing very high average -distances of the COI gene (20.80-23.62%).
