Abstract

The genus Exalloniscus is widely distributed in southern and eastern Asia. In this contribution, eight species are described as new: Exalloniscus schmalfussi from Nepal; E. siamensis from Thailand; E. kampucheaensis from Cambodia; E. tortilis and E. deharvengi from Vietnam; E. stilifer from southern China; E. burmaensis from Myanmar; and E. convexus from Laos. Ten more species are recorded: E. nepalensis from Nepal; E. coecus, E. brincki, E. bicoloratus, E. caudatus and E. maschwitzi from West Malaysia; E. sumatranus from Sumatra, Indonesia, and Singapore; E. papillosus from West Malaysia and Vietnam; and E. thailandensis from Laos. Exalloniscus bessoni Dalens, 1992 and E. yinae Nunomura & Xie, 2000 are considered to be junior synonyms of E. thailandensis Dalens, 1987. A map with the recorded distributions of all the 28 species of Exalloniscus is provided and their habitat is discussed.
