ABSTRACT. A new alyrate species of the dwarf theraphosid genus Phlogiellus Pocock, 1897, P. birulai Bariev et Logunov, sp.n., is described from the Bidoup–Nui Ba National Park, Vietnam based on a female series. The new species can be clearly distinguished from other alyrate congeners in possessing a unique conformation of the spermathecae, which are almost uniform width throughout their length. A male lectotype is designated for Selenocosmia subinermis Giltay, 1934, described from Bokor (Cambodia), with notes on the nomenclature of this taxon.
KEY WORDS: Araneae, fauna, diagnosis, distribution, Mygalomorphae, Selenocosmiinae.
