It is illegal to possess alive or dead, collect, kill, buy or sell these species in Thailand.
Note that protection extends to specimens of these species from other countries, so that it is illegal in Thailand to possess specimens of listed species that were caught in other countries, not just those originating in Thailand.
Cheirotonus gestroi was only recently added to the list.
