(Glossosomatidae) is described and illustrated from Kaeng Krung National Park, Surat Thani Province, southern Thailand. Agapetus kaengkrungensis n. sp. is distinguished from other species by the characters of segment IX and inferior appendages. The distributions of the Agapetus spp. of Thailand are mapped and discussed. Key words: diversity, Oriental Region, caddisfly Introduction Three genera of Glossosomatidae are known from Thailand including Glossosoma Curtis 1834, Agapetus Curtis 1834, and Padunia Martynov 1910. A fourth genus Cariboptila Flint 1964 has also been reported in Thailand, but its occurrence outside of the Caribbean region is disputed (Robertson & Holzenthal 2013).

    1 Phuket Province Provincial Emblem Flag Province . Governor: Narong Phonla-iat (since Government October 2016) Capital: Phuket City Royal capital: - Population: 386,605 (2014) Area: 576 km2 Administrative divisions Phuket is divided into three districts (amphoe), which are further subdivided into 17 sub-districts (tambon), and 103 villages (muban).Mueang Surat Thani 1. Mueang Phuket 2. Kathu 3. Thalang There are nine municipal (thesaban) areas within the province. The capital Phuket has city (thesaban nakhon) status. Patong and Kathu have town (thesaban mueang) status. There are further six sub-district municipalities (thesaban tambon): Karon, Thep Krasattri, Choeng 2 Thale, Ratsada, Rawai, and Wichit. The non-municipal areas are administered by nine tambon administrative organizations (TAO). Geography Phuket is the largest island in Thailand. It is in the Andaman Sea in southern Thailand. The island is mostly mountainous with a mountain range in the west of the island from the north to the south. The mountains of Phuket form the southern end of the Phuket mountain range, which ranges for 440 kilometres (270 mi) from the Kra Isthmus. Although some recent geographical works refer to the sections of the Tenasserim Hills in the isthmus as the "Phuket Range", these names are not found in classical geographic sources. In addition, the name Phuket is relatively recent having previously been named Jung Ceylon and Thalang. The highest elevation of the island is usually regarded as Khao Mai Thao Sip Song (Twelve Canes), at 529 metres (1,736 ft) above sea level. However it has been reported by barometric pressure readings that there is an even higher elevation (with no apparent name), of 542 meters above sea level, in the Kamala hills behind Kathu waterfall.
