Asiolasma angka, is a species of harvestmen belonging to the family Nemastomatidae. It is found in Chiang Mai, Thailand.[1] It was initially described in the genus Dendrolasma before being transferred in genus Cladolasma,[2] then later redefined within Asiolasma when that genus was newly described.[3]
