Remarks

In the original description of Exalloniscus sumatranus, Manicastri and Taiti (1991) stated that the colour faded due to long conservation in alcohol. Examination of the new material showed that the species is light brown with pale antennae and uropods. The species was found in association with the ant Myrmicaria brunnea subcarinata ( Smith, 1857) ( Manicastri and Taiti 1991) .
