Abstract :
An alticine genus Tamdaoana Medvedev is newly recorded from Malay Peninsula and Borneo, with 2 new species, T. kotakinabaluensis and T. monticola n. spp. A key is provided for 3 known species, but the taxonomic status of the population in Malay Peninsula remains unclear. Further, the genus is suggested to have close similarity to the genus Lanka Maulik.
