Remarks. Apophygone simpulum was originally described from northern and northeastern Thailand as the type species of a new genus, Apophygone Tanasevitch, 2014 (Tanasevitch 2014b). Very soon after that, this genus name was synonymized with Enguterothrix Denis, 1962, known from the Afrotropical Region (Democratic Republic of the Congo), see Tanasevitch (2016). The species is new to the faunas of Malaysia and Indonesia.

Distribution. Thailand (Tanasevitch 2014b), East Malaysia and Indonesia.
