Description
Thyropygus sutchariti sp. nov.
urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 6804DF2C-7787-46FE-9185-2E5C40AF5ED3
Fig. 8 A–D
Diagnosis
A species of the opinatus subgroup. Mesal process of anterior coxal fold (amp) directed slightly obliquely disto-mesad, tip overlapping tip of opposite amp. Similar in this respect to T. chelatus. Differs from this species by having amp as long as alp and by having the lateral process of the posterior coxal fold (plp) as a massive, broad lobe.
Etymology
The species is named in honour of Chirasak Sutcharit in recognition of his devotion to collecting millipedes.
Material examined
Holotype THAILAND: ♂, Phetchaburi Province, Kaeng Krachan District, Kaeng Krachan, 12°54'07" N, 99°35'56" E, 14 May 2012, leg. C. Sutcharit and members of the Animal Systematics Research Unit (CUMZ-D00090).
Paratypes THAILAND: 2 ♂♂, 2 ♀♀, 1 subadult ♀, same data as holotype (CUMZ-D00098); 1 ♂, same data as holotype (ZMUC).
Description
Adult males with 63–65 podous rings, no apodous rings. Length 10–11 cm, width 5.4–5.7 mm. Adult females with 61–63 podous rings, no apodous rings. Length 12–13 cm, width 6.7–6.9 mm.

GONOPODS (Fig. 8 A–D). Anterior coxal fold (ac; Fig. 8A): lateral process (alp) slender, regularly curved; mesal process (amp) as long as alp, directed slightly obliquely disto-mesad, tip overlapping tip of opposite amp. Posterior coxal fold (pc; Fig. 8B) basally with moderately high lateral paracoxites (px), distally with two processes: mesal process (pmp) a rounded lobe; lateral process (plp) a massive, broad lobe, projecting laterad. Telopodite (Fig. 8 C–D) leaving coxite between pmp and plp; femoral spine (fe) long, curved downward; telopodite distally to fe with large, round lobe (lo) projecting distolaterally; tibial spine (ti) very long, curving in horizontal plane, tip close to basal part of lo; spatulate lobe (sl) broad, rounded; palette (pa) simple, gutter-like, distally with about ten brownish blepharochaetae (bp).
