LYGISTORRHINIDAE

The Oriental fauna is rich in species of this small family and the progress in revealing them seems remarkable (cf. HIPPA 2002). One species was described from Thailand most recently (PAPP 2005).

We captured nine specimens, which represent one species each of two genera.

Matileola thaii L. PAPP, 2005 – 7 m: PF04/1; 1 m: PF04/10. It is good to have more specimens, since the species was based on two males only.

Lygistorrhina sp. 1 f: PF04/42. A small clear-winged species.
