The South-East Asian opilionid family Epedanidae Sørensen, 1886 has one of its strongholds in Thailand from where a multitude of genera and species have been described but the epedanid fauna of the country is still poorly known. This paper records four species from this country, three of which are new: (male and female), (male and female), and (male and female). Suzuki, 1969 was previously known only from the type locality in Thailand and is redescribed here. Functional aspects of epedanid penial morphology are highlighted.
东南亚幽灵蛛科(Epedanidae Sørensen,1886)在泰国拥有一个主要分布地,在那里已描述了众多属和物种,但该国的幽灵蛛科动物区系仍鲜为人知。本文记录了该国的4个物种,其中3个是新物种:(雄性和雌性)、(雄性和雌性)以及(雄性和雌性)。铃木幽灵蛛(Suzuki,1969)此前仅在泰国的模式产地被发现,本文对其进行了重新描述。文中强调了幽灵蛛科阴茎形态的功能方面。
