Comment
Locality Keng Sok in southwestern Thailand.
Distribution Thailand.
Quote An attempt was made to collect S. myrmekia in April, 2011, in the general area of the type locality near Keng Sok/Hua Hin in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, Thailand. Unfortunately, the area has been severely impacted by development, including the construction of a golf course and the Kaeng Krachan Dam on Mae Nam Petchaburi. No suitable habitat was found in the area, and it seems likely that S. myrmekia has been extirpated from its type locality and is probably extinct.
