Abstract
The thread-legged assassin bug Gardena melinarthrum Dohrn, 1860 (Heteroptera: Reduviidae) is reported for the first time from Thailand. Morphological data of the female adult, including detailed information of the genitalia, is provided with photographs. We also report the predation of an araneophagic spider Portia sp. (Araneae: Salticidae) by the bug in a spider’s web. It is the occasional observation of intra-guild predation evidence involving an assassin bug (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Gardena melinarthrum) and a spider (Araneae: Salticidae: Portia sp.) in a riparian habitat.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity (previous title was Journal of Korean Nature) is an official journal of National Science Museum of Korea (NSMK) and Korea National Arboretum (KNA). The scope of journal is wide and multidisciplinary that publishes original research papers, review articles, as well as conceptual, technical and methodological papers on all aspects of biological diversity-its description, analysis and conservation, and its application by humankind. This wide and multidisciplinary journal aims to provide both scientists and practitioners in conservation theory, policy and management with comprehensive and applicable information. However, papers should not be submitted that deal with microorganisms, except in invited paper. Articles that are focused on the social and economical aspects of biodiversity will be normally not accepted.
