Abstract
Thinodromus (s. str.) excisius sp. n. is described from Pahang State, Malacca Peninsula, Malaysia. The new species belongs to the Thinodromus lunatus group widespread in Southeast Asia. Within this group, the species seems to be most similar to Thinodromus (s. str.) cattiensis Gildenkov, 2017, Thinodromus (s. str.) spotus Gildenkov, 2017, Thinodromus (s. str.) batuensis Gildenkov, 2021, and Thinodromus (s. str.) bruneiensis Gildenkov, 2021 in the structure of the unpaired anterior shield of the internal sac of the aedeagus but clearly differs from these and from the other species of the lunatus group in the structure of the parameres with a characteristic emargination.
