Lecane superaculeata . n. sp. is described from three localities in Thailand. It resembles the small, cosmopolitan L. aculeata (Jakubski, 1912) but is distinguished by its larger size and conspicuous anterolateral spines. Additional records of some recently described Thai Lecane species and comments on Oriental endemics are presented L. eswari Dhanapathi is newly recorded for the country.
