Remarks.
The genus
Enghoffosoma
was created by
Golovatch (1993)
and currently comprises seven species ranging from southern
China
in the north to northwestern
Myanmar
in the south, as well as eastern
Thailand
and western
Laos
. The genus is currently assigned to the tribe Paradoxosomatini, being characterized by a slender to stout gonopod femorite which is mostly enlarged distad; the postfemoral region shows a very thick and rather short solenomere while the solenophore is strongly reduced to a ventral process. A more detailed diagnosis can be found in
Likhitrakarn
et al.
(2014)
