Ctenostylidae

KORNEYEV (2001) published a paper not only with a summary of the known Oriental species, but he discussed also the position of the family (for further literature, see his paper).

Nepaliseta ashleyi (BARRACLOUGH, 1998) – 1 male, 1 female ( HNHM): TAIWAN: Liukuei, Kaohsiung Hsien, San-Ping Forest Research Station – 700 m, Dec 30, 2001, leg. L. RONKAY & A. KUN; 1 male ( HNHM): ibid., Shan-Ping LTER Site, UV light traps, No. 14, 31.03.– 04.04. 2003, M. FÖLDVÁRI & L. PAPP. KORNEYEV (2001) most recently reported it from Taiwan (Fu-Shan Botanical Garden, 650 m). That was the first record of the family from the island. The species was originally described from Sulawesi .

Ramuliseta thaica KORNEYEV, 2001 – 1 female (HNHM): Vietnam: Lao Cai Prov., Fan-si-pan Mts. 1800 m – 16 km of Sa Pa, 17.03.1998., at light, No. 23, PEREGOVITS, VÁSÁRHELYI. It was recently described from Thailand. This is a slightly damaged specimen. Its right wing (broken sub-basally) has been prepared between pieces of cover glass, and pinned under the specimen. This is the second known specimen and the first female of this species. Its wing pattern is rather similar to that of the holotype male (fig.1 of KORNEYEV 2001). Its other features differ from the male in those respects, as in the other known species of Ramuliseta and Nepaliseta .
