description: <i>Nasoona asocialis</i> (Wunderlich, 1974) new combination Figs 33 –38, 44– 50 <i>Oedothorax asocialis</i> Wunderlich, 1974: 172, described &amp;female;, examined. <i>Gorbothorax ungibbus</i> Tanasevitch, 1998: 428, described &amp;male;, examined, <b>new synonymy.</b> <i>Gorbothorax</i> aff. <i>ungibbus</i> Tanasevitch, 2011: 573, examined. <b>Type.</b> <i>Oedothorax asocialis</i> Wunderlich, 1974, holotype &amp;female;, SMF 28891 / 1, NEPAL, Jiri, 1800–2000 m a.s.l., leg. J. Martens, I. 1970, det. Wunderlich, 1973 (examined). A tube contents a carapace and an opisthosoma separately, epigynum lost. <i>Gorbothorax ungibbus</i> Tanasevitch, 1998 (named as <i>Oedothorax u</i>.), holotype &amp;male;, SMF 38838, NEPAL, Sanishare, 5 km N of Siwalik Mts, 230–300 m a.s.l., leg. J. Martens &amp; Schawaller, 3.– 5.IV. 1988, det. A. Tanasevitch. The vial has a male with a palp in a microvial. <b>Remarks.</b> Both species, <i>Oedothorax asocialis</i> and <i>Gorbothorax ungibbus</i>, were described from Nepal, the former from a female, the latter from a male (Wunderlich 1974, Tanasevitch 1998). Based on study of rich fresh material from different regions of Southeastern Asia and restudy of type material, <i>G. ungibbus</i> corresponds to the male of <i>O. asocialis</i>. Hence, of <i>Gorbothorax ungibbus</i> Tanasevitch, 1998 becomes a junior subjective synonym of <i>Oedothorax asocialis</i> Wunderlich, 1974 <b>n</b>. syn., whereas <i>O. asocialis</i>, because of the synonymy of <i>Gorbothorax</i> with <i>Nasoona</i>, becomes <i>Nasoona asocialis</i> (Wunderlich, 1974) <b>n. comb.</b> <b>Additional material examined.</b> 1 &amp;male; (MHNG, labeled as <i>Gorbothorax</i> aff. <i>ungibbus</i> Tanasevitch, 1998), INDIA, Meghalaya, Garo-Hills, 400 m a.s.l., 4.XI. 1978, leg.
