MYCETOBIIDAE

The family has not formerly been recorded from Thailand. We captured seven individuals of three species. Two of them are new to science. One species is described below, the other one elsewhere.

Mesochria cinctipes DE MEIJERE, 1913 – 1 m: PF04/30; 1 f: PF04/29; 1 f: PF04/36; 1 f: PF04/38; 1 f: PF04/43.

Mesochria simplicipes L. PAPP, 2006 – Paratype m: PF04/17. The holotype was collected on Taiwan. The species was described in another paper ( PAPP 2006). Its male genitalia ( Figs 20–21 ) differ from those of M. thaii remarkably: lateral projection of gonocoxites shorter and blunt, medial lobe of gonostylus somewhat more basal, lateral lobe broader in profile, cerci broader but shorter and broadly rounded, phallus membranous.
