HYBOTIDAE – M. FÖLDVÁRI

In the CDO SMITH (1975) does not list any species of Hybotidae from Thailand.

GROOTAERT & SHAMSHEV (2003) reported the genus Nanodromia GROOTAERT from Thailand (also first record for the Oriental Region). Four new species were described from different Thai localities: N. narmjeud , N. phukhao , N. narmkroi and N. taksin . SHAMSHEV & GROOTAERT (2004 b) reviewed the genus Stilpon LOEW in the Oriental Region and described the following new species from Thailand: S. monospinatus , S. spinicercus , S. crassinervis , S. isaanensis , S. laawae , S. nhamyaaw , S. seeluang , S. taksin , S. khorngkeun , S. lek , S. lekkwar , S. nhamdam , S. trilobatus , S. paradoxus and S. yai . Most recently SHAMSHEV & GROOTAERT (2005 b) described three new spp. of Tachydromia from Thailand: T. thaica (p.111, Loei Prov., Na Haeo), T. terricoloides (p. 113, Loei Prov.) and T. luang (p. 115, Singapore, paratypes from Loei Prov., Na Haeo).

We collected 789 specimens of Hybotidae in 2004 and 110 specimens in 2003. Due to the lack of time we did not sort the specimens from 2003 to genus level.

Specimens from 2004 belong to 11 genera as follow (number of indiv. in brackets): Platypalpus (62), Elaphropeza (212), Syndyas (19), Drapetis (118), Parahybos (25), Crossopalpus (152), Syneches (104), Hybos (67), Leptopeza (4), Tachydromia (18), Chillcottomyia (5), Drapetini (7).
