A Pauropoda collection from Doi Inthanon in north-western Thailand has been studied. Eleven species were found. Ten of them were new to science and are described and figured: Allopauropus (Decapauropus) bispinosus, A. (D.) chiangmaiensis, A. (D.) thailandensis, A. (D.) grandicollis and A. (D.) bedosae, Scleropauropus (Scleropauropoides) quadriramosus, Samarangopus poculifer, S. umbonifer, S. doiinthanonaeus and Sphaeropauropus convolvolutus. The Pauropoda fauna of Doi Inthanon seems to be very diversified. It may contain biogeographical elements indicating connections in the directions (1) Madagascar-the Mascarenes, (2) the Indo-Australian Archipelago and (3) the Palearctic.
