  New synonymy and combinations in Megamyrmaekion Reuss, 1834 (Araneae: Gnaphosidae) Abstract The drassodine ground spider genus Megamyrmaekion Reuss, 1834 is recorded from Vietnam for the first time as a result of the following new combinations here proposed: M. luridum (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1874) comb. nov., ex Drassodes Westring, 1851, and M. vickyae (Sherwood, Marusik, Sharp & Ashmole, 2023) comb. nov., ex Australoechemus Schmidt & Piepho, 1994. Detailed redescriptions and illustrations of the male and female of M. luridum comb. nov., from Vietnam are provided. Additionally, A. celer Schmidt & Piepho, 1994 syn. nov., is recognized as a junior synonym of M. caudatum Reuss, 1834. Drassus tarrhunensis Karsch, 1881 is removed from the synonymy of M. caudatum and provisionally transferred to the genus Megamyrmaekion as M. tarrhunense (Karsch, 1881) comb. nov.
