The CDO (STEYSKAL 1977) listed six sciomyzid species in three genera from Thailand (incl. Sepedomerus macropus ( WALKER, 1849) as introduced to Thailand). Of them, Sepedon spangleri BEAVER, 1974 (p. 86) was described from this country. KNUTSON & GHORPADÉ (2004) listed also Sepedon aenescens WIEDEMANN, 1830 from Thailand.

In the MHNG there are six individuals of two Sepedon spp. , in the HNHM only one male each of two Sepedon species, which were captured at the same locality (one sp. overlapping). All the three spp. were also formerly known from Thailand and they are widespread in the Oriental region (see KNUTSON & GHORPADÉ 2004) .

The specimens in the MHNG were identified by R. ROZKOŠNÝ, those in the HNHM by L. PAPP.
