✦ Synopsis
A hitherto unknown sawfly species, Nepala chiangmaiensis n. sp., is described by its male from Thailand. It is compared with the resembling species Nepala cochinsinensis (Malaise, 1957) from Vietnam. The wing venation of the type species Nepala incerta (Cameron, 1876) and the penis valve of N. chiangmaiensis are illustrated. Identification keys to the 8 known Oriental Nepala species and to the 6 genera of the tribe Xenapateini are given. Distribution record of the Nepala species is also mapped.
