New records. 1 male, Nakhon Nayok, Khao Yai NP, Lum Ta Kong View Point, 14o25.82’N 101o23.754’E, 744 m, Malaise trap 26.iv.–2.v.2007, Pong Sandao leg., T2132 (in SMNH); 1 male, Nakhon Ratchasima, Khao Yai NP, Cobra zone near Fire protection office, 14o28.524’N 101o22.928’E, 757 m, Malaise trap 12–19.vi.2007, Pong Sandao leg., T2224 (in SMNH).

Remarks. M. perpusilla , which was described from one male from Selangor, Malaysia (Hippa 2007), was subsequently reported from Khao Chong Botanic Garden (1 male) and Thung Khai Botanic Garden (2 males), Trang Province, Thailand ( Hippa and Papp 2007). The present specimens are rather conspicuously larger than the holotype, wing length 1.8–2.0 contra 1.3 mm, the antennal flagellomeres are longer ( Fig. 13 View FIGURE 13 A, B), the gonostyli are apically more pointed and the juxtagonostylar megasetae are different, especially the more dorsal one, which is rod-like and short instead of being flattened and as long as the more ventral one ( Fig. 13 View FIGURE 13 C–F, Hippa 2006: fig. 16 B). These specimens may represent a new species. The material published by Hippa and Papp (2007) has not been restudied in present context.
