Protaphorura

Description

Protaphorura spp.*

Source: Deharveng (1986), Deharveng (1987c), Deharveng et al. (1989), Deharveng & Bedos (1993b), Bedos (1994).

Distribution in Thailand. Chiang Mai (N). Habitat: mostly above 800 m. in various massifs of the Chiang Mai province; litter and soil at 700–2550 m. in Doi Inthanon forest.

Remark. The cited records are likely to belong to the genus Thalassaphorura Bagnall, as the genus Protaphorura seems to be absent in the tropics. Six forms of uncertain taxonomic status have been recognized in Doi Inthanon (Bedos 1994).
