We present the first recorded description of females of the species Dinorhax rostrumpsittaci (Simon, 1877) from solifugae specimens obtained from southern Vietnam. As a result of DNA barcoding using males identified as D. rostrumpsittaci and unidentified females, these female specimens made a highly supported cluster with male D. rostrumpsittaci. Hereby, we describe the female D. rostrumpsittaci and its natural habitats.
