Summary:Nine spider species belonging to the genus Dictis L. Koch and presumably to the genus Scytodes Latreille were collected from forests of Thailand. Three of them are new (Dictis elongata sp. n., D. denticulata sp. n., and D. thailandica sp. n.), two are known species for which morphological variation and extended geographic ranges are recorded (Scytodes fusca and S. mawphlongensis), and a further four species known only from one sex are illustrated and provisionally described using open nomenclature (three Dictis and one Scytodes species).
