The genus Ngirhaphium Evenhuis & Grootaert, 2002 is reported for the first time from Thailand in particular from mangroves on the coast of the Andaman Sea in southern Thailand. Three species were found: N. murphyi Evenhuis & Grootaert, 2002, N. sivasothii Grootaert & Puniamoorthy, 2014 and N. chutamasae sp. nov. The latter species is described and illustrated and a key to all four known species is provided. COI barcode data showed that the new species is most closely related to N. murphyi with a genetic distance of 7%. The distance with the other species is 11 to 12%.
2002年的Ngirhaphium属由埃文斯和格罗塔尔特首次在泰国被报道,特别是在泰国南部安达曼海沿岸的红树林中。发现了三个物种:2002年的墨菲氏Ngirhaphium(N. murphyi Evenhuis & Grootaert)、2014年的西瓦索氏Ngirhaphium(N. sivasothii Grootaert & Puniamoorthy)和新物种楚塔玛氏Ngirhaphium(N. chutamasae sp. nov.)。对后一个物种进行了描述和图示,并提供了所有四个已知物种的检索表。细胞色素氧化酶亚基I(COI)条形码数据显示,新物种与墨菲氏Ngirhaphium关系最为密切,遗传距离为7%。与其他物种的距离为11%至12%。
